Student Services
Support services help make educational programs more effective at fostering and measuring student learning. Such services may be provided directly to students, helping them to participate and learn more easily. Some direct services may be worked into the classroom instruction provided to all learners in small or large groups. Other direct services must be provided to individuals or small groups of learners with parent permission. Additional support services benefit students indirectly through assistance and training for the educators, parents, and other adults who are responsible for student instruction.
When support services are deemed necessary for an individual student with a disability to benefit from special education, they become an entitlement and are called related services. Related services are provided to students with disabilities or to their families according to the plans formulated by each student's IEP team.
Partnerships with other agencies or educational organizations allow Tri-County to provide more intensive services on behalf of students with highly specialized needs:
• Program Facilitators (technical assistance and program consultation) and other specialized services (e.g., audiology, orientation and mobility) available through Heart of Illinois Low Incidence Association (HILIA) to support the learning needs of students with Vision, Hearing, and Orthopedic Impairments.
• Program Consultation for Students with Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities or Autism in Tri-County Schools from Hammitt School of The Baby Fold.
• Partners' Outreach Services for families who desire ongoing support, offered in collaboration with Hammitt School of The Baby Fold.
• Assistive Technology Rentals, Consultation, and Support Services available from Tri-County, all HILIA districts, Infinitec, and the Infinitec Mid-State Assistive Technology Coalition.
