Teacher The teacher has identified a struggling student. For six week the teacher will implement different strategies while working with the student. Teacher will try and see if they can help the student overcome the difficulty. At that time, the teacher may suspect the student of having a disability that my require special education and related services.
Referral or Request for Evaluation The teacher or parent will submit the referral/request for evaluation to the school. The School Counselor takes the lead for organizing the SST. Once the request has been submitted, the school has 15 days to present the parents or guardians with a plan for assessment. Many times, a Student Study Team convenes within this 15 day window.
Student Study Team The SST will determine the next steps. If deemed necessary, the parents will sign off to have the child evaluated for a learning disability. This is called Request to Evaluate. All students whom are to be tested must have permission from a parent/guardian.
