Related services are the support specialists a school provides, such as counselors, mental health clinicians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and audiologists. Use this training presentation to build a shared understanding of what strong, integrated related services look like in an ASL/English Bilingual school. It walks teams through three areas: having services consistently available and fully staffed, making sure providers are fluent in ASL so students understand them directly, and getting providers, teachers, and student life staff to plan together. Activities help teams rate current practice and plan one step forward.
