PART 5. SIGNATURES

INSTRUCTIONS

There are four parts to this form, i.e., Part 1,2,3 and 4. Parts 1,2 and 4 must be completed for all initial evaluations and reevaluations. Part 3 must be completed for initial evaluations if the suspected area of disability is Specific Learning Disability. Part 3 must be completed for reevaluations if the child is currently a child identified as having a specific learning disability or the team is considering a change in the child's disability category to Specific Learning Disability.

In Part 1 each member of the evaluation team will list in the “Areas of Assessment” box the area or areas that they will be assessing, i.e., vision, hearing, fine motor, gross motor, emotional/behavioral or intellectual ability. The evaluator will also provide, in Part 1, the evaluation method and strategies used to conduct the assessment by checking the appropriate boxes. A detailed summary of the results of the assessment or assessments will be provided in the “Summary of Assessment Results” section. The evaluator will sign their assessment page and include his or her position title. The date on this section will be the date the evaluator completed his or her assessment.

Part 2 will be completed by the team chair or district representative by gathering all team members' assessments (Part 1) and summarizing them in the boxes provided in Part 2. The interventions summary is completed for both initial evaluations and reevaluations per the instructions found on the form and in Procedures and Guidance for Ohio Educational Agencies serving Children with Disabilities. The reason(s) for the evaluation is also completed for both initial and reevaluations. The summary of information provided by the parents of the child will include information from the referral form as well as any information provided by the parent through behavioral checklists, interviews or meetings, outside evaluations.

Once all assessment information is gathered and summarized, the team will meet and review all information. The team will then describe the child's educational needs based on the information gathered, and state the implications for instruction and progress monitoring in the appropriate text box.

The team will then consider whether or not the child may have a specific learning disability based on the elements found in Part 3. If no one suspects a disability under this category, the team may skip Part 3 and move into Part 4.

In Part 4 the team determines whether or not the child is eligible for special education and related services by addressing each of the statements found in this section. The final text box in this section is completed with the information that supports the team's eligibility determination. All members of the team sign the report at the conclusion of this section. If any team member disagrees with the team's determination, the team member must attach a written statement of disagreement to the report.

4 ELIGIBILITY

ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION

It is the determination of the team that:

The determining factor for the child's poor performance is not due to a lack of YES NO appropriate instruction in reading or math or the child's limited English proficiency. For

the preschool-age child the determining factor for the child's poor performance is not due to a lack of preschool pre-academics..

The child meets the state criteria for having a disability (or continuing to have a disability) based on the data provided in this document.

The child demonstrates an educational need that requires specially designed instruction

If the response is NO to any question, then the child is NOT eligible for special education. If the response to all three questions is YES, then the child IS eligible for special education.

The child is eligible for special education and related services in the category of:

YES NO

YES NO

BASIS FOR ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION: (or Continued Eligibility)

Provide a justification for the eligibility determination decision, describing how the student meets or does not meet the eligibility criteria as defined in OAC 3301-51-01 (B)(10) (Definitions) and OAC 3301-51-06 (Evaluations). Include how the disability affects the

child's progress in the general education curriculum.

1Intelligence quotient required for a cognitive disability only.

2All possible areas for developmental delay are noted. The team will decide the areas to be assessed for eligibility.

3Preacademic skills are related to content standards and basic functional skills for preschoolers and provide information on current level of performance.

4Vision and hearing screening are part of the basic requirements for entry into program, just like kindergarten, and are part of the Early Learning Program Guidelines,

A preschool child is determined eligible because of a disability that (1) adversely affects the child's performance and ability to participate in developmentally appropriate activities and therefore, (2) the child is in need of special education and relate services.

Eligibility in a disability category other than developmental delay must be determined first. If the child is eligible with a disability category of speech/language impairment, cognitive disability or emotional disturbance, the team may choose to use the term developmental delay without any further assessments. If the child does not meet the criteria for any of these disability categories, the team is to consider developmental delay. Developmental Delay means the child has a disability in one or more of the following areas of development: physical, cognitive, communication, social or emotional, or adaptive. A developmental delay is substantiated by a delay of 2.0 standard deviations below the mean in one area of development or 1.5 standard deviations below the mean in two areas of development. The standard deviation cannot be the sole factor in determining the child has a disability.

A preschool child with a disability is at least age 3 and not of compulsory school age. A child who will be three as of December 1 of the school year can begin earlier than the third birthday. a child who will be age 5 as of December 1 is to have kindergarten (pre-academic skills) considered. Age is determined as of the district entry date; if a child is age 6 as of that date, the child is no longer a preschooler.

Additional data beyond what is necessary for eligibility may be collected and reviewed for programming purposes.
