Explain the Psycho Educational Assessment and Evaluation of Children

with Special Needs in in your School.

 A psycho-educational assessment is recommended:

o when you are concerned about your child’s cognitive, language, communication
and/or social-emotional development.
Since we have students on this category and teachers handling is not a
Sped Teacher but
still we are focused on childs cognitive, language ,communication and
social-emotional
aspect .We do assesses them based on that to find their level and their
problems.
o when you want to find out if your child has a developmental or learning disorder.
We do ask parents about their developmental or learning disorder
to .find out how we
can communicate and interact with their kids with disabilities
o when it is requested as part of a school application process.
As a Teacher we don’t look at them because of their disabilities ,although
its hard for us
to handle those students with special needs especially they’re
combined with regular
students ,and our school has no specific program for learners with
Special needs. When
it comes to application process they’ re welcome to enroll in our school.
o when your child has commenced school and there are concerns about their
learning, academic progress and/or attention.
Our main concerns is to give them proper education were they will learn
and enjoy
communicating with others , we based the activities on their level and
their mental age.
o during your child’s schooling to monitor a known learning disability or to gain
further understanding on the difficulties encountered at school.
They are properly handled by teacher concerned and proper activities
were given to
them and we do monitor them time to time , and we do follow up
parents about their
activities at home.
 You will be given a child history form to be completed prior to the assessment day.
 During the application process we ask complete assessment analysis
given by a
psychologist or medical expert concerning learners status, from their
parents if they
consulted to psychologist or medical expert.
 The assessment is conducted by a psychologist.

In Government school we don’t have a school psychologist or any

medical experts for
learners with special needs we just based our assessment given
by Parents report and
actual performance of a child.

The following assessment was given to assesses:

 cognitive abilities(ability to acquire knowledge and understanding).
 adaptive behaviour (ability to perform daily activities required for personal and social
sufficiency).
 general emotional and behavioural development.
 academic achievement (if appropriate).
 social and communication development (if appropriate).
