What does my child’s teacher mean by a Referral or a Referral Process?

 The Referral Process

The need for Special Education supports is based on the judgment of the teachers, parents and others familiar with the students’ abilities, achievements, and learning needs; previous school records and informal and formal assessment results.

The referral process to Special Education emphasizes a collaborative process by the school personnel, the parents, and/or community agencies. Different processes are followed for preschool and school-aged children.

For students currently in school, following a period of schooling, a need for Special Education supports may be identified by the school team (teacher, resource teacher, principal, clinician, parent and/or community agency personnel). Parental approval must be obtained. Referral for Special Education supports would follow.

Usually a referral means that your child would be seen by a Resource Teacher, Psychologist, Speech/Language Pathologist, or other clinician, for an assessment to determine what kind of supports will make his/her classroom success more likely.
