Evaluation and assessmentBefore educators can design an effective remedial program for your child, they must understand the exact nature of your child's weaknesses.

Evaluations:

  • are used to identify learning problems
  • are essential to measure progress and learning
  • include a plan to address your child's problems

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will learn what the law requires for evaluations, the benefits of a comprehensive evaluation, and how to find an appropriate independent evaluator.

We hope you will forward this issue to friends, families, or colleagues.
