Referral Process
I. Parent or teacher has a concern about student’s performance
A. Teacher and Parent conference
B. Teacher and Parent work together to implement new strategies for
one month. (Document what you have implemented! If we have
to refer for full evaluation this information is needed for the RE 1
form.)
C. If need be, have Learning Support teacher observe the student in
class.
II. Permission to Screen
When there is still concern, after one month’s implementation of new
strategies, either by parents or teachers, the teacher asks parents
to sign a permission form to allow the Learning Support teacher to
administer educational screenings to the student.
III. Screenings administered
By the Learning Support teacher or the counselor.
IV. Work Samples
Teacher also submits work samples to the Learning Support teacher, or
completes checklists (i.e. in the case of attentional issues).
V. Conference
Meeting of parent, teachers, & Learning Support to discuss options
based on screening results and implementation of strategies by parents
and/or teachers.
A. If further evaluation is recommended, parent signs a two-way
consent for exchange of information:
1. For private testing, all of the gathered above information is
collected and sent to agency.
2. For Guilford County School System, DEC 1 and RE 1 forwarded to
child’s districted school.
a. We need to attend the screening committee meeting, the evaluation
results meeting and the IEP meeting.
VI. Write Student Accommodation Plan
Teachers and parents work as a team to write appropriate accommodation
plans for student.
VII Services Received
*Upon
writing the accommodation plan, the decision will be made as to how
the student will receive services from Learning Support. The services
could be Direct through pull- out remediation, Inclusive
services with LS teacher going into the classroom, or
Consultative based through activities suggested for the teacher to
carry out with the student.
Children aren't
seen by Learning Support unless there is a documented reason the child
should be seen. (i.e. a learning disability in reading, written
language, math or the presence of ADD which interferes with their
learning.)
