           Related services include speech therapy,  occupational therapy, physical therapy, and rehabilitation counseling. Transportation to school is a related service.             
It is the IEP team’s responsibility to review all of  the evaluation information, to identify any related  services your child  needs, and to include them in the IEP.  
Goals can be  written for a  related service just as they are for other special  education services. 
The IEP must  specify: 
  - when the service will begin
 
  - how often it will be provided and for what amount of time
 
  - where it will be provided
 
 
In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will learn the responsibility of the IEP team in determining related services for your child. If your child's IEP specifies related services, the school district must provide these services. Related services must be at no cost to the parent. 
We hope you will forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.
