Special Education Evaluations

Hosted by

Dr. Essence Presley

Special education evaluations are detailed assessments used to determine if a child is eligible for special education services and identify their specific needs. These evaluations encompass cognitive, physical, sensory, emotional, and academic areas and are conducted by a multidisciplinary team including psychologists, educators, and therapists. The process involves standardized tests, observations, and reviews of educational records. Results inform the creation of an Individualized Education Program (IEP), outlining tailored educational strategies, accommodations, and supports to aid the child's learning. This ensures that each child receives a personalized educational experience designed to meet their unique challenges and strengths.
