REEVALUATION
| reevaluation_procedures.pdf |
A reevaluation must be conducted if the LEA determines that the educational or related services needs, including improved academic and functional performance, of the child warrant a reevaluation or if the child’s parent or teacher requests a reevaluation. A reevaluation may occur not more than once a year, unless the parent and public agency agree otherwise and must occur at least once every 3 years, unless the parent and public agency agree that a reevaluation is unnecessary. The student will remain a student with a disability and eligible for special education and related services unless there is data that indicates otherwise. Evidence may include documented of a student's ability to benefit from the general education curriculum without the need for specially designed instruction.
Planning for reevaluations occurs in the same way as initial eligibility evaluations, with parents participating as team members. Existing data are reviewed by the IEP team and other qualified professionals, as appropriate, to determine if any additional data are needed. The focus of the review and evaluation meeting is on assessment of progress, responsiveness to interventions (the degree to which the special education and related services are addressing student “needs”), answering any specific and focused assessment or diagnostic questions, and planning future instruction and interventions.
