What are three basic service options for special education students?

Question

Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but here's my best guess:

1) General education setting (could be with or without extra support)

2) special education setting part of the day, also called "resource model" ( could be anywhere from 1 hour on up, but not the whole day)

3) special education setting for the whole day (usually called "self-contained")

Answer 2

There is not suppose to be a specific number of options.

Each child is serviced individually according to their needs, hence the  *I*  in IEP.

Answer 3

I'm not really sure what you mean by "basic service options" because the services provided to a student depend on the disability category under which they are being served. Some options include having the student attend pull out/resource room tutoring with a special education teacher (typically for students with learning disability) or working with a speech language pathologist (those with speech/language disability) or an occupational therapist (typical for those with sensory or motor concerns, perhaps ADHD). Student may also meet with the school psychologist to receive psychological services or the behavior specialist to learn social skills; these might also involve being part of a group, like a friendship or anger management group. Students with severe needs may be served in a special education classroom where they spend their entire day, although this is typically avoided as it is best for students to be with their peers. Finally, a student can receive accomidations which are special circumstances under which they take school-wide tests.

I hope this helps. If this is not what you are looking for, please clarify your question.
