This is only for language (vocabulary, grammar, syntax, morphology,
social language) or auditory processing concerns.
1. Fill out the enclosed for entitled Request for
Observation.
2. Put the form in my mailbox (Stacey Poole)
3. Depending on what your concern is, I will ask you to fill out
a checklist, or two. For example, if your concern is limited
vocabulary and weak grammar, you will fill out the Language
Checklist. If your concern is following verbal directions, you
will need to fill out both an Auditory Processing Checklist and a
Language Checklist.
4. I will review the checklists and observe the student
within the classroom setting to make a determination as to whether
further action is necessary (i.e. a more in-depth language sample is
needed, a screen needs to be conducted, etc.). If I can't get
enough information from the classroom
observation, I will ask to have the student come to my room for a more
in-depth
observation.
5. If screening is administered and scores are low, I will
notify the parents (either by phone or by letter) to let them know of
my
intention to refer the student for a Special Education Speech
Evaluation.
- the actual referral entails the classroom teacher and myself filling
out
the form, then I must schedule a PPT meeting to review the referral
with
the team.
6. From the date of the referral, I have 45 days to
complete the evaluation and to have another PPT to review the
results. Eligibility for Special Education is determined at that
PPT.
