educational evaluations
of Children With
special needs
Clinical and Forensic
Considerations
David Breiger, Kristen Bishop,
and g. Andrew H. Benjamin
This book describes how to perform an
independent educational evaluation for
children with special needs. Chapters describe
the suggested format and content of initial
meetings with parents and school officials,
the assessment and evaluation process, how to
piece together the final report, and additional
issues that arise after the final settlement,
including testimony in due process hearings.
They also carefully outline the evaluator's
responsibilities under the law. The chapters
also provide a full explanation of the applicable
legal statutes regarding special education
services, and the legal boundaries of the
evaluator's responsibilities. Perhaps most
importantly, they provide crucial suggestions
for how evaluators can navigate conflict that
often arises between parents and school
officials, while remaining focused on providing
the best possible education for all children.
