S.E.N Team Child Observation before and after Assessment
The student must be observed in the student’s learning environment (including the regular classroom setting) to document the student’s academic performance and behaviour in the area(s)
of difficulty.
Information from an observation in routine classroom instruction and monitoring of the student’s performance that was conducted before a request for an evaluation may be used.
After a student has been referred for evaluation and parental consent has been obtained, a group member may conduct an observation of the student’s academic performance and behaviour in the student’s learning environment. If a child is less than school age or not in school, a group member must observe the child in an environment appropriate for a child of that age. Child may be observed before an assessment to determine the angle the assessment team should take. The child is also observed after an assessment to evaluate the progress of the child.
