Related Services
Related services are those services that provide individualized focus to bring students to an optimal state for learning. As a part of the admissions process, related services professionals make recommendations after a review of reports, evaluations, and the student’s visit. Funded students will start with the related services indicated on their Individualized Education Program (IEP).
The related services determined by the team are critical to the student’s academic progress. These services are a condition of the student’s acceptance and part of the signed contract. Upon enrollment, there is a 45 to 60 day evaluation period to determine if related services amounts are appropriate to meet the needs of each student. Speech-Language therapy is included in the tuition. All other related services are in addition to tuition for private pay students and based on an hourly rate.
