Support and Related Services

The Minnesota State Academies provide a variety of support and related services to ensure all of our students receive the best possible educational program. Our services include the related services mandated through IDEA, along with support services found in any public school.  All students have access to support services as needed.  Specific related services are determined through the IEP process.  As part of the IEP team, our related services staff complete assessments and prepare specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of our students.
