Related Services Under the IDEA: Meeting Districts' Obligations to Students and Parents


Presented by Nina Gupta, Esq.
Wednesday, April 29, 2020 | 2 - 3:30 p.m. ET


Nina Gupta, Esq.

Webinar Registration:

$115 per connection until April 29

School district teams often struggle to meet IDEA requirements surrounding related services. How do you determine which related services a student needs? How should related services be documented? What role do "other related services" play?

Gather staff for this interactive webinar, where attorney Nina Gupta will clearly explain districts' IDEA obligations, which services qualify as related services and when they may be needed. And, with examples from recent case law, you'll learn about two often overlooked elements: when to consider and how to provide related services to parents, and when it is appropriate to add or remove related services from students' IEPs.

Staff will be equipped to better comply with the IDEA and provide individualized, needed services to ensure students receive FAPE, as they gain practical guidance to:

  • Determine which, if any, related services a student requires

  • Appropriately document related services in students' IEPs, including frequency, location and duration

  • Identify and document "other related services" a student may need

  • Recognize when and which counseling services may be a required element of the IEP

  • Distinguish between an excluded medical service and a school health service

  • And more!

In light of the current COVID-19 outbreak, the speaker will specifically address how to provide related services during a period of closure.

  • Special education directors

  • Special and general education teachers

  • School administrators

  • IEP team members

  • School attorneys

  • Related services providers

  • Other service providers
