DOE Expectations for Speech and Language Evaluations

The Department of Education held a meeting for speech evaluators and their referring agencies at the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year regarding current best practices for evaluating students.

Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the guidance document as it provides clear expectations for Speech and Language evaluations and should be used as a template.

As we know, it is the goal of the Department of Education Office of Assessments to provide quality assessments in a timely fashion. I hope that these shared documents are useful and helpful in evaluating students.
