• Evaluations may not be needed.

• Check due dates and combine meetings to save time.

• Contact parents early and plan ahead!

Explain the Options to parents:

Option 1Eligibility may be determined with a

Review of Existing Data:

Examples:

Grades, state test scores, attendance records, discipline records, IEP

progress, etc.

Option 2:

Collection of additional data with or without formal assessment.

(See DEC 7)

If you think you will need to do formal assessments, you need to start early.

Psychologists need to know months in advance!

Make sure parents understand that if you Evaluate and the student no longer qualifies for services, they may be dismissed. – This could

be a good thing!

*Developmentally Delayed students must have a

Comprehensive Reevaluation:

3 years after they are initially placed or before they are 8 years of age or by 3rd grade whichever comes first.

If you know ahead of time that no additional testing will be needed, you may

conduct the Reevaluation in one meeting.
