Your comprehensive guide to all 15 related services in the law — and more!

Make sure all your IEP team members know what the law says, so they can determine when related services are required — and when they’re not.

This must-have guide explains what a related service is and how it should be handled in the IEP. Chapters then explore every service identified in the law, plus others upheld as “appropriate,” giving you the service’s definition as well as key Education Department guidance and commentary, so you know:

• What "recreation" encompasses and why it can be a key element of a child's IEP
• Services that can be provided directly to parents and when to consider them
• The range of speech-related services available under “speech-language pathology”
• Types of counseling and when they may be required in the IEP
• And more!

Plus, summaries of court and hearing officers’ decisions show you whether a particular related service was ruled appropriate, guiding you in determining which services to offer.
