Which of the following are examples of related services?

• A. Speech-Language Pathology and Occupational Therapy
• B. Classroom Seating and Bell Schedule
• C. Transportation and Cafeteria Cleaning
• D. Lunch Supervision

Answer: (A)

Related services are supportive services provided to help a student with a disability access and benefit from special education. Speech-language pathology helps with communication and language skills, while occupational therapy supports motor skills, sensory processing, and activities of daily living that can affect learning. These are the kinds of formal services often included in an IEP as related services.

Other options mix items that aren’t services: classroom seating and the bell schedule are classroom logistics, not services; transportation might be a related service, but cafeteria cleaning is not; lunch supervision is a supervisory duty rather than a formal related service.
