Welcome to the New Educational Diagnostician Academy!
This academy has been specifically designed to support your growth and development during your first years of working in the field. As a new educational diagnostician, you will be responsible for assessing and identifying students' learning needs, writing evaluation reports, managing ARD meetings, and assisting in the development of appropriate educational plans.
During these short, lunch and learn sessions, you will learn the fundamentals of assessment and ARD management and gain a comprehensive understanding of the tools and techniques used in identifying disabilities. You will also have the opportunity to network with other new diagnosticians and work closely with experienced professionals who will provide you with guidance and support as you navigate your first few years in the field.

Come learn how to write an FIIE that will be meaningful in the creation of a student's IEP! In this session, we will watch the TEA recorded webinar, "Writing Effective Impact and Need Statements in the Full and Individual Evaluation," and engage in meaningful activities and discussions surrounding the webinar. This session will provide guidance for writing compliant and effective impact and need statements related to the student's disability to create the Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) statements, which lead to the development of an appropriate individualized education program (IEP).
