Master the exact strategies and legal requirements needed to draft a thorough, legally defensible Assessment Plan (AP) on your initial attempt. This results-oriented course is designed to eliminate the frustration of faulty plans, ensuring smooth timelines and effective evaluations.
This interactive course is tailored for parents, school-based mental health professionals, and educators who want to strengthen their abilities in identifying what needs to be on the assessment plan when students are referred for special education evaluations.

3. Developing each section of the Assessment Plan based on concerns.
