My child has been receiving  interventions, but is struggling...now what?

If your child is not making effective progress through the general education curriculum, despite receiving interventions, they may be referred for a special education evaluation.  Upon receipt of the parent/guardian’s consent, an evaluation will be completed within 30 school days, and you will be invited to come to a Team meeting to discuss the evaluation results, determine eligibility for special education services and discuss any next steps that should be taken.  Parents/Guardians are an important and very valuable part of each Team!  If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Components of a special education evaluation may include:

• Educational assessment

• Academic assessment

• Observation of the child

• Health assessment

• Psychological assessment

• Home assessment

• Speech/Language assessment

• Occupational therapy assessment

• Physical therapy assessment

Your Team may consist of the following people:

• Parent/Guardian

• General Education Teacher

• Team Chair

• Special Education Teacher

• Speech/Language Therapist

• Occupational Therapist

• Physical Therapist

• School Psychologist

• School Nurse
