In addition, his required reevaluation is due in April of 2013 and academic information needed to be updated prior to this date as Academic Present

The Evaluation Team included assessments and observations from teachers, parents, school psychologist, speech pathologist, and the school nurse. Data and information from Jay’s prior records, standardized testing, evaluations, and current IEP information, were reviewed and included. Specifically, teacher and parent observations, classroom performance/work samples, test performance, grades, standardized testing, state/district testing, hearing/vision screening, behavior checklists, and school records were included to complete Jay’s reevaluation and provide information pertinent to the development of his IEP.
