Services Provided By The School:

IAT=> Individualized Assistance Team
This team is comprised of the parent, classroom teacher, Assistant principal or case manger, and any other specialist needed to service the child. This team meeting is the first step in the official administrative intervention of a child’s academic evaluation and progress.

CSE=> Case study Evaluation
This is an in-depth look at the whole child. This evaluation requires written consent form the parent\guardian, an interview by the school nurse and social worker of both the child and parent\guardian, and psychological testing completed by the school psychologist. This evaluation is the second step in the official administrative intervention. The CSE determines whether a child is eligible for special education services.
