Related Services Defined

Learn more about Section 300.34 of the IDEA regulations, which defines “related services” as a broad range of developmental, corrective, and supportive services—such as speech-language therapy, occupational and physical therapy, counseling, and transportation—that are essential for students with disabilities to benefit from special education. The regulation also clarifies that while services related to surgically implanted devices are excluded, schools remain responsible for ensuring students’ health and safety throughout the school day.
