“I think my child needs an evaluation. What do I do?”
It’s a question parents, educators, and advocates ask all the time. And while requesting a special education evaluation is relatively simple, there’s a lot more to understand before you make that request.
What happens after you ask?
What is the school actually evaluating for?
And how is a school-based evaluation different from an evaluation you might seek privately?
In this webinar, we take a step back and look at the evaluation process from the beginning—including what has to happen before an evaluation can move forward, what the school needs to consider, and what a request for an evaluation actually sets in motion.
And then, we get to the practical part: how to make the request.
