Special Education, By The Book

The DOE released on Oct. 28 an updated Standard Operating Procedures Manual for “The Referral, Evaluation, and Placement of School-Age Students with Disabilities.” The nearly 300-page document, a comprehensive explanation of special education policies and procedures from referral through placement, is available as a PDF at the DOE’s Special Education Educator Resources page. A companion “Practitioner’s Guide with Primary Emphasis on Assessing Achievement as Part of an Evaluation for Special Education,” is also newly available.

The big changes were summarized in this September New York Teacher column.
