Guests: Dr. Karen Watts, Director of Special Services, and Dr. Elizabeth Washington, Director of Special Services
So, you have concerns about your child and their educational development, but you don't know where to start. Do you make a referral or is that the school's job? Who determines what services your child gets? How does the evaluation process work? What's a parent's role in all of this?
In this episode of Helping Kids Thrive, Nicole talks with two Directors of Special Services from school districts partnered with DotCom Therapy; Dr. Karen Watts joins from a school district in Maine and Dr. Elizabeth Washington from a school district serving primarily military families in Missouri. During the episode, they give a look into the process of special education evaluations including who makes decisions, what steps a student goes through before determining if they qualify for services, timelines, and more.
