Product Description:

If this is an initial evaluation/screening for a child under the age of 3, the primary source of information will be the family. If the child is over the age of 3 and has been evaluated by the school district, then it will be helpful to ask the family to bring some critical pieces of information to their appointment. This information may include: an updated psychological report, documentation that shows under what disability eligibility category the child qualifies for special education services, a list of strengths and challenges for the child and information from teachers. If the child is receiving special education services, it would also be helpful to see the IEP (Individualized Education Program). This will provide insight into current services, present levels of performance, and goals for the child. Prior to the visit, it may be helpful to send parents a letter suggesting that a release is signed to allow information to be shared between school and the medical provider.
