MYTHBUSTERS! DEBUNKING COMMON MYTHS ABOUT RELATED SERVICES AND ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY

BASE OF UNDERSTANDING LEAVING THE SCHOOL SYSTEM CAN HAPPEN BY: GRADUATING WITH A DIPLOMA REACHING MAXIMUM AGE FOR ELIGIBILITY DROPPING OUT STUDENTS WHO GRADUATE OR REACH MAXIMUM AGE ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION AND RELATED SERVICES. LEAS/IEP TEAMS, DURING TRANSITION PLANNING, SHOULD CONSIDER THE STUDENT’S CONTINUED NEED FOR RELATED SERVICES AFTER THE STUDENT EXITS THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

CASE STUDIES CASE #1 JOHN, A RECENT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE WITH CEREBRAL PALSY, RECEIVED RELATED SERVICES THROUGHOUT HIS EDUCATION (AGES 3 -18) FROM AN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST, A PHYSICAL THERAPIST, AND A SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST. HE ALSO USED ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR WHEEL CHAIR ADJUSTMENTS, AUGMENTATIVE COMMUNICATION SUPPORT, AND EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT. UPON GRADUATION HE WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND TWO LANGUAGES BOTH AT SCHOOL AND AT HOME. CASE #2 JANE, A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT CLASSIFIED WITH A LEARNING DISABILITY, COMPLETES SCHOOL ASSIGNMENTS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF WORD PREDICTION SOFTWARE. SHE ALSO RECEIVES SPEECH SERVICES FOR APRAXIA AND WILL RECEIVE TRANSITION SERVICES THROUGH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
