Learning Disabilities Assessment Process |
The process for completing a learning disabilities assessment typically requires four (4) appointments after an initial screening, as listed below:
|
1. Intake:
|
• Important personal, medical and educational history is gathered. |
2. Achievement testing: |
• Provides information about present academic skill levels in reading, math, spelling, and writing. |
3. Intellectual ability testing: |
• Potential for academic learning is assessed.
|
4. Interpretation: |
• Assessment results are reviewed and recommendations are made.
|
NOTE: Students who have been previously assessed for a learning disability may submit recent testing for evaluation. The need for any additional testing will be determined after this information has been reviewed. |
Students interested in being assessed for learning disabilities eligibility must contact DSPS at (714) 628-4860 to schedule a screening appointment with a Learning Disabilities Specialist.
