Special Education: IDEA

Appropriate Evaluation

Image of a combination whiteboard bulletin board. Title: Appropriate Evaluation. Picture of a young girl writing on notepaper.

Text reads: Appropriate evaluation is a set of formal and informal activities to:

identify the child's strengths and needs.
Determine child's eligibility for special education.

The information from the evaluation helps the special education committee in determining your child's eligibility for special education under IDEA, and in making a decision about an appropriate educational program for your child.
