WHAT ARE COMPENSATORY SERVICES? Compensatory services are used to help students make up for progress or skills they lost when their special education services were not provided. This includes situations where a child does not get special education services because he or she was denied a timely initial evaluation, but later found eligible. If an initial evaluation was denied when it should not have been, compensatory services may be needed to make up for the delay in your child getting special education services.Compensatory services are used to help students make up for progress or skills they lost when their special education services were not provided.

¿QUÉ SON LOS SERVICIOS COMPENSATORIOS? Los servicios compensatorios se utilizan para ayudar a los estudiantes a recuperar el progreso o las habilidades que perdieron cuando no se proveyeron sus servicios de educación especial. Esto incluye situaciones en las que un niño no recibe servicios de educación especial porque se le negó una evaluación inicial completada de manera oportuna, pero luego se determinó que era elegible. Si se rechazó una evaluación inicial cuando no debería haber sido así, es posible que se necesiten servicios compensatorios para compensar para el retraso en que su hijo reciba servicios de educación especial.
