Related services may also include transportation and health/nursing services. Individualized Education Plan (IEP) teams determine eligibility for related services based on individual student needs.  

Specialized services of brailling and orientation and mobility are provided based on information obtained through evaluation and as documented on the Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each student. The services may take the form of Braille instruction, large print materials, assistive technology, direct one-on-one tutoring, or small group instruction within the classroom setting. Some children are served in an indirect manner through the consulting model. Orientation and mobility training is provided on an individual basis, as determined through the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process.
