Evaluating Children for Disability (Current as of September 2017) (English and Spanish) (Center for Parent Information & Resources, CPIR)

Description:

Evaluation is an essential beginning step in the special education process for a child with a disability. Before a child can receive special education and related services for the first time, a full and individual initial evaluation of the child must be conducted to see if the child has a disability and is eligible for special education. Informed parent consent must be obtained before this evaluation may be conducted.
