What is Compensatory Tutoring?

Does your child have an IEP (Individualized Education Program)? If so, you may know that students who have IEPs are mandated to receive specific services based on their disability, as indicated on their IEP. These services might include speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, Special Education Teacher Support Services (SETSS), or other services deemed necessary given their disability. In some instances, students don’t receive these services that are specified on their IEP and, as a result, they may receive compensatory tutoring, often through an impartial hearing. This compensatory tutoring can help your child make up for skills and support they should have previously received. The right compensatory tutoring can help your child thrive academically and excel at school.
