1 Procedures for Three-Year Reevaluations Jolee Harney/Jenny Kurzer Marsha Holleman/Nancy Simmons

2 EC students must be Reevaluated every 3 years, to determine continued eligibility. Evaluations may not be needed. Check due dates and combine meetings to save time. Contact parents early and plan ahead!

3 Explain the Options to parents: Option 1 Eligibility may be determined with a Review of Existing Data: Examples: Grades, state test scores, attendance records, discipline records, IEP progress, etc.

4 Option 2: Collection of additional data with or without formal assessment. ( See DEC 7) If you think you will need to do formal assessments, you need to start early. Psychologists need to know months in advance!

5 Make sure parents understand that if you Evaluate and the student no longer qualifies for services, they may be dismissed. – This could be a good thing!

6 *Developmentally Delayed students must have a Comprehensive Reevaluation:  3 years after they are initially placed  or before they are 8 years of age  or by 3 rd grade whichever comes first.

7 If you know ahead of time that no additional testing will be needed, you may conduct the Reevaluation in one meeting.

8 Forms required: Invitation DEC 7/Reevaluation - Do a detailed record review! Eligibility Determination DEC 5/Prior Written Notice DEC 4 (Develop a new IEP or revisit the current IEP – Choose Addendum or Reevaluation as the purpose.) (A DEC 3 Worksheet is not required.)
