DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY ASSESSMENT SERVICES
ECSE provides developmental delay assessments in five critical areas of childhood development including physical development, language development, academic or cognitive development, adaptive behavior, and social emotional development. Children who qualify for these services are between the ages of birth to seven years old. Our specialists provide these developmental delay services to support the student with their early academic experience.
Before providing any of our developmental delay assessments to students, we meet with the family and school providers to discuss the need for the evaluation or assessment. Upon agreement of an assessment, our team will:
STEP 1
Observe the student
in their learning environment.
STEP 2
Perform formal
and informal assessments in five areas listed above.
STEP 3
Determine eligibility: A student qualifies when they have shown they are 1.5 standard deviations below their same-aged peers.
STEP 4
The team and parents review the results and discuss the next steps for student programming.
