The IEP team must review existing evaluation data on the child. Each of the following areas of information should be considered as the team reviews pertinent information:

  • Review of all EC and cumulative records,
  • Summary of previous evaluations/assessments,
  • Evaluations and information provided by the parents of the child;
  • Current classroom-based, local or state assessments, and classroom based observations;

AND

  • Observations by teachers and related service providers.

The purpose of this document is to identify what additional data, if any, are needed to determine:

  • Whether the child is a child with a disability or continues to have a disability;
  • The present levels of academic achievement and related development needs, and educational needs of the student,
  • Whether the child needs special education and related services, or continues to need special education and related services.
  • Whether any additions or modifications to the special education and related services are needed to enable the child to meet measurable annual goals set out in the Individualized Education Program of the child and to participate, as appropriate in the general curriculum.

REVIEW OF EXISTING DATA (Completion required for all disabilities.)

Summarize the most recent assessment, the date it was administered, and any change(s) since the most recent evaluation/reevaluation. Indicating “yes” or “we discussed this area” is not sufficient.

AUTISM

SCHOOL AGE

Autism means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction that adversely affects a child’s educational performance. Autism is generally evident prior to age 3. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotypic movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences.
