Service Provider Checklist for Related Services

Related services are the specialized supports, such as speech, counseling, and therapies, that surround a student's education. This self-check helps related service providers reflect honestly on their own practice with deaf and hard of hearing students. It covers delivering services directly in ASL rather than through interpreters, keeping communication accessible and matched to each student's language, and working as a real member of the team through co-planning and shared data. It also looks at student outcomes and staying aligned with each student's IEP, the individualized education program that sets their goals. Use it to spot strengths and name where your practice can grow.
