Evaluation procedures define how schools conduct assessments for determining eligibility. The description—assessing in all areas of suspected disability, using a variety of assessment tools, and ensuring no racial or cultural bias—matches the required approach to gathering information about a child’s needs. This broad, methodical process ensures a complete and fair picture of the student’s strengths and challenges. While an initial evaluation would use these same practices to determine eligibility, the focus here is on the way the evaluation is carried out, not on consent or on one specific evaluation stage.
