What if a Child Who Has Exited From Special Education Services is Referred Again?

According to South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children Policies and Procedures released April 6, 2009, an initial evaluation would be conducted to reestablish whether the child is a child with a disability who has a need for special education and related services, thus making the child eligible once again for special education services. The school would provide Prior Written Notice and request consent from the parents or adult student before beginning the evaluation. The evaluation must include a review of existing data. If the team determines the current available data are adequate for the purposes of eligibility determination, there do not need to be any further assessments conducted.
