Special Education Services

What are Related Services?

Related services are developmental, corrective and other support services required to assist a student with a disability to benefit from instruction. Based upon a student's Individualized Educational Program (IEP), related support services may be necessary.

Counseling

P373R supports the mental health needs of students. Using a multi-tiered framework, counselors provide individual and group counseling to students as determined by their IEPs.

Health

School Health Services are designed to address the specific health needs of the student and to ensure a safe educational environment that allows the student to benefit from his/her primary educational program.

OT and PT

Occupational Therapy (OT) and Physical Therapy (PT) are two of the related services that may be provided to support a student's Individualized Education Program to support fine and gross motor skills.

Speech, Vision & Hearing

Speech/Language therapy is provided by teachers of speech improvement. Educational Vision Services (EVS) are provided for students who are blind or have a visual impairment related to pathology of the eyes or visual pathways. Hearing education services are designed to provide intensive instruction in speech reading, auditory training and language development to enhance the growth of receptive/expressive communication skills.
