Related Services in Special Education: Working Together as a Team is a resource for anyone who works with school-age children with disabilities to showcase the professional expertise and value-add related services providers bring to the IEP team and school community. With a theme of intentional collaboration and communication, this book is written and organized for educators and administrators and designed as a go-to resource--a conversation starter for professional development and ongoing learning about how to increase the effectiveness of the school-based teams who support students with disabilities. The core chapters define related services, review the legal requirements and considerations, offer examples of related services and their providers, and provide strategies to effectively leverage the professional knowledge of all team members. This book is rich in resources, including end-of-chapter thinking and reflection questions, information on the law and Supreme Court cases that guide understanding of related services, an entire chapter of recommended resources to extend learning, and case-study examples to support connection of concepts to practice.
