Evaluations can be done with very young children (and even in infancy), so waiting for an evaluation until your child is school-aged often means missing out on valuable intervention time. The more information you have about your child’s difficulties, the more effectively you can address them. The process of identifying the type of provider needed will be discussed with an emphasis on how to vet providers to help ensure a quality evaluation. The components of an evaluation along with information on how to interpret the results of standardized testing will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":307758,"journal":{"name":"Don't Wait and See!","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131277748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This includes state-based early intervention services as well as the supports available through the public school system. Information on services provided by the public school system will be discussed including how to set-up an individualized education program, what steps to take if you are told your child does not qualify for school-based services, and whether you should consider grade retention. Private therapies and therapeutic preschool programs also will be discussed. Strategies to help you recognize when an intervention might be based on pseudoscience will be presented along with tips for identifying good quality information, including research articles that might be relevant for your child.","PeriodicalId":307758,"journal":{"name":"Don't Wait and See!","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125265990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
