Speech-language therapy, as a related service, is provided when “…required to assist a child with a disability to benefit from special education…” (IDEA 34 CFR 300.34(a)).  Often students with cognitive deficits continue to receive services simply because they are enrolled in special education.  This session will provide considerations for determining when a child no longer needs direct services.

This is a one-hour lecture, followed by a second one-hour lecture on Assistive Technology.
