R for Related Services: Beyond Academics — Speech, OT, Counseling & More

IEPs aren’t just about academics. In this episode, we explore Related Services—the essential supports like speech therapy, occupational therapy, counseling, and more that help your child access learning and make meaningful progress.

Monica breaks down what counts as a related service, how these services are decided, and what questions to ask to ensure they’re not just on paper—but actually helping your child thrive.
