Specialized services
Specialized services are those services provided directly or indirectly to a child with a disability to ensure benefit from the general education program. Direct services can be provided to an individual child or to a small group of children with similar needs. Direct instruction and services are provided to help a child meet the goals and objectives on the child’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Indirect Services support the student in the general education classroom through consultation with teachers, monitoring progress, making accommodations or modification, adjusting and maintaining assistive technology or equipment, and limited direct contact with the student.
