After the referral has been made 

Once you have made your request, someone will contact you to discuss next steps. 

Consent for Evaluation

If data supports moving forward with a special education evaluation, you will be asked to sign a "Consent for Educational Evaluation" form.  Even if you made the referral yourself, you must still give written consent for the process to begin. Without consent, your child will not be evaluated.
