Multidiscipinary Team

When a child is recommended to special education, a multidisciplinary team works together to determine if an evaluation is warranted based on data collected through the Scientific Research Based Intervention (SRBI) process.  Should an evaluation be recommended, the team will plan an evaluation for each individual case. Following the evaluation process, the team will determine if the student is eligible for special education services or not.  When a child is identified as eligible for special education services, an individual program geared towards the individual student's needs will be created.

 

This team consists of a variety of members. These members may include any or all of the following: Parents/Guardian, Student, Classroom Teacher, Special Education Teacher, Speech Language Pathologist, Psychologist, Social Worker, Occupational Therapist, Physical Therapist, Principal, Assistant Principal, and Behaviorist.

 

The success of the student depends on a strong home/school relationship. Parents are encouraged to participate in their child's education.
