Assembly Bill 114, Effective Related Service Delivery Systems

Funding Description

Assembly Bill 114 made local educational agencies (LEAs) responsible for providing all related services required by students’ individualized education programs (IEPs), including mental health services. Previously, such mental health services were provided by mental health agencies. Consequently, LEAs have been required to expand their service delivery systems so that they are able to provide all required services to students with IEPs. This grant provides support to investigate the relative effectiveness of various designs of these related service delivery systems.
