Would I follow different complaint procedures if OT/PT or mental health services are not provided as specified in my child’s IEP?

In that situation, you can file a notice of failure to provide related services with the Superintendent of Public Instruction (Superintendent) or the Secretary of Health and Welfare (Secretary).
