IDEA requires IEP teams to notify parents of their rights and procedural safeguards when informing them about the need to assess their child, either to determine eligibility or to re-evaluate to show growth. IEP teams must describe the purpose of assessments and describe the assessments that will be used when securing permission from parents to evaluate their child. Providing informational brochures can help parents understand assessment and document the team’s attempts to inform parents and involve them in the decision-making process.

In 500-750 words, design a brochure for general education teachers and families detailing the following about assessment and eligibility:

The process of reviewing existing data to determine the need to conduct further assessments.

Language sampling

Dynamic assessment and criterion-referenced assessment

Intelligence testing

The rights and responsibilities of students with disabilities, their families, and teachers related to eligibility assessment.

Support your brochure with appropriate images and diagrams.
