A Student Is Referred for an Evaluation for Possible Eligibility

Short Answer

A student is referred for an evaluation for possible eligibility for special education. The student has cerebral palsy, and the team member has no knowledge of this disorder. The team member asks the physical therapist to give advice on how to administer the test and requests that the therapist attend and assist during the evaluation. The team member also requests the assistance of the school psychologist to determine how the adaptations affect the psychometrics of the test administration. The team member documents all changes in the reevaluation report.
