What is a Multidisciplinary Evaluation for a Preschool Age Child?
If a child already has the diagnosis of fragile X and is coming from an early intervention program, he or she will likely skip the screening stage. If he or she brings up-to-date assessment information, no further evaluation needs to be done, and the family can move on to the establishment of the Individualized Education Program. If the child is first referred for special education at age three, either by failing some part of the screening, or by request from a parent, then a complete evaluation needs to be completed. What is included in the assessment? What happens after the assessment at the early childhood level? What is done with the results of testing? Gail Harris-Schmidt, Ph.D., CCC-SLP |

A multidisciplinary evaluation of a child age three through kindergarten consists
of a variety of measures to determine eligibility for special education and the needs of the child. All school districts must offer screenings for all children at
age 3. The screening might consist of a hearing test, vision test, and language, cognitive, gross motor, and fine motor tasks. A child who fails one or more of these areas is referred for a full evaluation.
