This is only for speech (articulation, fluency or voice) and hearing
concerns.
1. Fill out the enclosed for entitled Request for Observation.
2. Put the form in my mailbox (Stacey Poole)
3. I will observe the student within the classroom setting and
make a determination as to whether further action is necessary (i.e. a
more in-depth speech 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.
• If errors are
developmental, or fluency/voice/hearing is within normal limits (and
student is intelligible)
- no
further screening will be necessary.
• If errors are not
developmental, or fluency/voice/hearing is not within normal limits, I
will proceed with a screening.
4. If screening 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.
5. 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.
