Evaluations & Eligibility for Special Education Services
Special Education regulations govern the process of determining eligibility for special education services. Evaluations are done only with written consent from the parents. Once the formal evaluation process has been completed, all participants meet to form a Team to determine eligibility for special education services. The Team includes the parents, community preschool teachers, early intervention therapists, and the Newton Public Schools evaluators. If a child is found eligible for special education services, a plan that describes the child's learning profile, instructional needs, appropriate goals, and educational placement is developed by the Team. This plan is called an Individualized Educational Program (IEP). The specific services, settings for service delivery, and providers are detailed in the plan.
