Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), "related services" are a wide array of supportive services provided directly to children with disabilities to assist them in benefiting from special education.  Specifically, the IDEA defines related services as transportation and such developmental, corrective, and other supportive services necessary for a child with a disability to benefit from special education.  The need for related services is typically considered during the student's admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee meeting as the committee reviews and discusses the student's evaluation and assessment data.  Related services available at Sherman ISD include, but are not limited to:
