The sessions will focus on training Monolingual Educational Diagnosticians, Licensed Specialists in School Psychology, and Speech and Language Pathologists on the process of evaluating English Language Learners for a possible IDEA disability. The training will divide the evaluation process into three parts: before, during, and after. The before session will focus on how to determine language dominance, the during session will focus on evaluation instrument and interpretation, and the after session will focus on recommendations and procedures for the Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) Committee. In addition, exclusionary factors will be examined thoroughly.

Please note participants must attend all three session dates to get credit for the training.
