IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR SERVICES
Before a child can obtain services there must first be an evaluation to see if the child has an eligible disability as described by
IDEA. If so, other pertinent questions will be asked; does the disability affect the educational process and does the child need
specialized instruction? An evaluation request can come from the parent and/or from the school district. Retrieved June 29,
