Ever stare at your child’s IEP and wonder, “What actually happens during those service minutes?” You’re not alone—and we’re breaking it down. In this kickoff to our 12-week summer series, host Wendy Taylor and co-host Jackie Beach dive into what related services like speech, OT, and behavioral support really look like in the school day. You’ll learn the difference between push-in, pull-out, and consult models—and why asking “who, where, and how” matters just as much as the number of minutes. This episode arms you with real questions, real strategies, and real confidence.
3 Key Takeaways
3 Key Takeaways
- Service clarity matters – Ask who, what, where, why, and how your child receives related services: pull‑out, push‑in, consult.
- Context drives success – Understanding where and how OT, speech, and behavior services happen shapes more effective IEP planning.
- Collaborate purposefully – Go in informed, curious, and collaborative—alignment promotes teamwork and reduces overwhelm.
