In the Irving Independent School District v. Tatro case, what type of service was classified as a "related health service"?

  1. Speech therapy

  2. Catheterization for a bladder condition

  3. Behavioral therapy

  4. Physical rehabilitation

The correct answer is: Catheterization for a bladder condition

The correct answer is catheterization for a bladder condition, which was classified as a "related health service" in the Irving Independent School District v. Tatro case. This landmark case set a significant precedent regarding what constitutes a related service under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The court ruled that services essential for a student to benefit from their educational program, including medical procedures performed by school personnel, are necessary to ensure that students with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE). In this particular case, the court determined that catheterization was not a purely medical service but rather a necessary support that allowed the student to participate in school activities, thus categorizing it appropriately under the related health services umbrella. Such services are critical for maintaining the student's health and enabling them to access the educational environment effectively. This ruling highlighted the importance of ensuring that educational institutions provide necessary medical support as part of their commitment to accommodate students with disabilities.
