Evaluation Assessment Guidelines
These are examples of typical assessments needed to complete comprehensive evaluations for certain eligibility. The guidance sheets are to be used solely for information and resource purposes only. Informed consent under IDEA 2004 requires assessment-planning teams to determine what evaluations are needed based on the individual concerns of each child and to review those assessments with parents. These guidance sheets are not intended to supersede the process of obtaining informed consent or the decisions of the building based assessment-planning team.
