The eligibility determination meeting is where the results of the evaluation are shared with the parent and the parent is given a copy of the report. If the child did not meet criteria for Exceptional Education Services no further steps need to be taken at this time.
If the child met criteria for a program, the parent and other members of the school district may be present. For example, teacher, occupational therapist, speech pathologist, school psychologists, resource specialists, school administrators, etc. After results from the evaluation and information about services that can be offered, eligibility determination is made. If the parent gives written permission for placement in a program, an Individual Education Plan is designed for the child.
