evaluations or reports regarding the child are helpful.
- A
team of early childhood experts including speech and
language, occupational, and physical therapists
and a school psychologist
review the information.
- Based
on the information, the evaluation team may make a determination
to evaluate
the child.
- In
order to be eligible the child must demonstrate a 30% delay
in one or more
of the areas assessed.
