Your Child's Learning Evaluation

Resource links can be found at the bottom of the page.

Your child recently had a learning evaluation conducted either because he or she is going through the initial evaluation process, or because he or she is going through the triennial reevaluation process.

 

The learning evaluation is just one part of the process and looks at your child's performance in academic areas to provide information about how he or she is doing in relation to his or her cognitive ability.  This helps us to determine if your child is performing academically at his or her expected levels.

 

If you read the evaluation carefully, each subtest that was administered to your child will be fully explained in the evaluation report and standardized scores will be given.  Along with the standardized scores, descriptors will be given to let you know what range your child is performing such as the average range, below average range, etc.

 

The learning evaluation, in conjunction with the other assessments completed by the Child Study Team, will help to determine if your child has a learning disability.  You will be invited to a meeting in order to discuss the results of all the evaluations.  At that time, if it is found that your child does have a learning disability recommendations will be made in order to help him or her find the most success in school.

 

The purpose of this webpage is to provide parents with resources in order to support your child's academic success.  It is beneficial for all children to receive academic support outside of the school, and it is especially important for children with learning disabilities to receive that support. We know that you, as a parent or guardian, are vital partners in your child's education and that children do better at school when their parents are involved. Your involvement helps by providing a bridge between home and school, building confidence, and boosting overall academic success.

 

On the homepage, you will find links to academic areas such as reading, writing and math.  You will find suggestions for what you can do to help your child in those areas.   Additionally, you will be linked to beneficial resources that deal specifically with learning disabilities and what parents can do to help.  One of the greatest resources designed to date is Understood.org.  It is the first link on the homepage.  Understood.org was developed specifically for parents and is filled with a plethora of resources that I am sure you will find helpful.
