Related services, such as mainstreaming, are offered for students using the communication style that provides the greatest access for the student.  There may be instances when students would be better served by maximizing their residual hearing or cochlear implants in a setting where sign language is not offered.  The delivery of these services is determined on an individual student basis.  Related services include those provided within the classroom, as well as those outside of the classroom, such as audiology and individual speech-language therapy.

Related services reflect our communication approach  which is designed to be of maximum benefit to the individual student.  Our adoption of one language of instruction provides a consistent setting which ensures complete access by all of our students in their classrooms.  The provision of related services is conducted in the methodology that is most appropriate for the student.   Application of the integrated approach to communication best serves to meet the varied needs of the students who attent Willie Ross and also contributes to their academic development.
