[quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of incorrect information on this thread.

A &quot;screening,&quot; meeting, or &quot;child find screening,&quot; is intended to collect the current data, come together as a team and decide if more information (testing) is needed as a part of the decision about whether or not a student might be need special education services. Even if the team decides to move to testing at a screening meeting (or you bring private testing that has a diagnosis) that does not mean a child will be eligible for special education services.

The flow is:

Screening (review educational history, teacher reports, parent report, observation, private report if supplied by family)-&gt;determinations (review any recommended testing, determine the need for services)-&gt;Initial IEP development meeting (if the team determined at the determinations meeting that a child requires special ed services to access the curriculum).

Finally, a diagnosis of autism does not &quot;guarantee&quot; that a child needs special education services to access the curriculum. [/quote]
