Pre-Referral Interventions

When an academic, emotional, or behavioral concern arises, the initial response is provided by Instructional Support Teams in grades K-12.

Multidisciplinary Team Evaluation

Following pre-referral interventions, a student may be referred for multidisciplinary team evaluation. The referral contains vital information from the pre-referral process and formulates questions to be addressed in the evaluation. In cases of emergency, the multidisciplinary team evaluation may occur concurrently with other interventions.

Parent permission is secured for the multidisciplinary team process. When assessments are complete, an \ Evaluation Report (ER) is prepared and an IEP meeting held to determine the student’s need for specially designed instruction.

If the student is found to require Special Education, an Individual Education Plan with goals and objectives will be developed, and parents will be asked to sign a Notice of Recommended Educational Placement (NOREP) indicating their agreement.

Parent Initiated Referrals

Residents who have children in Radnor schools or other educational facilities may request a Multidisciplinary Evaluation. Parents wishing to refer their children are encouraged to confer with their principal and instructional support teacher. The counselor, Instructional Support Teacher, and others may then begin the data collection process for Multidisciplinary Evaluation referral.

Newly Enrolled Students

A new IEP will be developed by the parents and the Radnor team. Those who enroll with an IEP from another state will be provided with a multidisciplinary team evaluation, which may include a diagnostic period in the Special Education program, followed by an IEP team meeting.
