What is an Evaluation
and Early Childhood (ECT) meeting?
The CDS may recommend to parents an evaluation of the child based on
the screening. The parents decide whether or not to do an evaluation.
CDS helps parents choose providers to perform evaluations. Parents schedule
evaluations and the written evaluations go to CDS.
At that point an Early Childhood Team (ECT) meeting is arranged by CDS.
This team includes:
- Parents
- CDS
- Evaluators
- Service Providers
- Child’s Physician
The purpose of the team meeting is to bring everyone together to
discuss the needs of the child and the parents’ concerns. Parents
may bring a family member, friend or advocate to the meeting if they
would like.
The team reviews the findings of the evaluations and determines
services for your child. This is called an Individual Family Service
Plan. Back to top |
