Offering Psychological Counseling as a Related Service is a requirement when a student demonstrates a need for this type of support. A new guidance document is being released by the Bureau of Special Education that provides information for MDE and IEP teams. This document and training follows the special education process, from the legal basis through assessment, identification of need, implementation of service and monitoring for continued need for eligible students. In addition, this training explores components needed within a service delivery system, including creating partnerships with community providers, that will foster providing these supports to students and families.
