Understanding Supplementary Aids and Services: Key Insights for Special Education

As a Special Education Director, ensuring that students with disabilities receive the support they need is paramount. One crucial aspect of this support is the provision of supplementary aids and services. But what exactly are these aids and services, and how do they contribute to inclusive education? Let's dive in!

What Are Supplementary Aids and Services?

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) defines supplementary aids and services as:

"…aids, supports, and other services that are provided in the general education classes or other education-related settings to enable students with disabilities to be educated with non-disabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate…”

In California, these are also known as Designated Instruction and Services (DIS). These services are essential for creating an inclusive environment where students with disabilities can thrive alongside their non-disabled peers.

Types of Supplementary Aids and Services

Supplementary aids and services encompass a wide range of supports. Here are some examples:

Why Are These Services Important?

Supplementary aids and services are designed to provide students with disabilities the opportunity to access the general education curriculum in the least restrictive environment. This approach not only fosters academic growth but also promotes social inclusion, allowing students to build meaningful relationships with their peers.
