What are related services, and who provides these services to students with disabilities in schools? This course will define related service and describe how related service providers help a child with a disability benefit from their special education program. This course will assist all school personnel, including teachers, administrators, and support staff, by covering topics that address who related service providers are and what their roles are in supporting students. In addition, some guidance around how many people from different disciplines and backgrounds can come together to work collaboratively on behalf of the student is included. Implementation of related services will be the focus of the course.

2. Providing Related Services to Students
This chapter will build off of Chapter 1 by describing how related service providers make decisions from the perspective of their own disciplines but then come together as a team to support a student’s special education program through the IEP.
3. Teamwork and Collaboration
This chapter will address more specific components of teamwork and provide examples of how to facilitate interaction and communication among related service providers to collaborate on IEP goals and meet the needs of the student. This chapter also focuses on the support that school administrators can provide to related service providers and ideas for assessing their performance.
