Minimum and maximum service requirements

Special Education Teacher Support Services (SETSS)

• must be provided for at least three hours per week and
• can be offered for up to 50 percent of the school day. 

The three-hour weekly minimum applies even if the student is also receiving other special education programs or services, such as Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) or special class services. 

If a student's needs are so significant that SETSS for more than 50 percent of the school day is required, the school may need to consider additional supplementary aids and services provided within the general education setting alongside SETSS.
