Brochure for General Education teachers and families on Assessment and Eligibility

IDEA requires IEP teams to notify parents of their rights and procedural safeguards when informing parents about the need for assessment to determine eligibility or to re-evaluate to show growth. IEP teams must describe the purpose of assessments and describe the assessments that will be used when securing permission to evaluate from parents. Providing an informational brochure can help parents understand assessment and document the team’s attempts to inform parents and involve them in the decision making process.
