[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 99876, member: 23"] The evaluation process via the sd is a multidisciplinary evaluation. The school district is required to evaluate in all suspected areas of disability. From: [url="http://idea.ed.gov/explore/view/p/%2Croot%2Cregs%2C300%2CD%2C300%252E304%2C"]http://idea.ed.gov/explore/view/p/%2Croot%2Cregs%2C300%2CD%2C300%252E304%2C[/url] "Regulations: Part 300 / D / 300.304 Sec. 300.304 Evaluation procedures.... (4) The child is assessed in all areas related to the suspected disability, including, if appropriate, health, vision, hearing, social and emotional status, general intelligence, academic performance, communicative status, and motor abilities;... (6) In evaluating each child with a disability under Sec. 300.304 through 300.306, the evaluation is sufficiently comprehensive to identify all of the child's special education and related services needs, whether or not commonly linked to the disability category in which the child has been classified...." This means different things for different students and the key term here is "suspected." If the sd doesn't "suspect" an area of disability, they do not evaluate in that area. For instance, say, a child has ADHD but the school district doesn't "suspect" it. They would not be required to evaluate for ADHD specifically. Unless your state law says differently, the sd has 60 days to perform the evaluation. There's a "getting started" thread in the Special Education Archives that you'll find helpful. Read it, and post any additional questions you may have and we'll help if we can. [/QUOTE]
