Related services are the support specialists a school provides, such as counselors, mental health clinicians, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists. Use this informational presentation to build a shared, plain-language picture of what strong, integrated related services look like in an ASL/English Bilingual school. It describes three areas: services that are consistently available and fully staffed, providers who are fluent in ASL so students understand them directly, and providers, teachers, and student life staff who plan together. It is a shared-language resource, not a checklist or an evaluation of any one person.
