Which service model extends and complements the instruction provided by general educators?

• A. Pull-Out
• B. Co-Teaching
• C. Self-Contained
• D. Related Services

Answer: (D)

Related services are supports that extend and complement what general educators provide in the classroom. They are designed to help a student with disabilities access, participate in, and benefit from the general education curriculum, and they’re planned through the student’s IEP and delivered in addition to regular instruction. Examples include speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, counseling, transportation, and adaptive physical education. These services address barriers to learning and help implement the student’s goals, coordinating with general education teachers so instruction can be effective. Other delivery models, like removing the student from class for specialized instruction, placing the student in a separate self-contained classroom, or having two teachers share instruction in the general education setting, describe how instruction is provided rather than the supports that enable access to that instruction.
