Disability-Related Needs

Disability-related needs specify areas or skills that, when addressed, will improve the student's access, engagement and progress in age and grade level curriculum, instruction, environment, and other school activities. This includes skills needed for college, career, and community readiness. The disability-related needs identified by the IEP team must be linked to the annual IEP goals and services.

This IEP team must identify

• Disability-related needs listed in the IEP.

• Disability-related needs as they relate to community and beyond 18.

• Outside agency and community support to help address disability-related needs.
