  2. The CAT Process • Students are referred by their homeroom teacher for a meeting based on a decline in their academic progress or behavior. • Upon approval from the principal, a CAT (child assistant team) will conduct a meeting to design interventions to be implemented by the classroom teacher, parents, and school staff. The team consists of the classroom teacher, a special education teacher, the social worker, the principal, and the parents/guardians. • A follow up meeting will be scheduled to determine if the interventions are working and if any changes need to be made to the previously developed plan.

  3. CAT Process Continued • If the team feels that all interventions have been implemented, and have not been successful, the team will determine if the student should be tested for a disability. • A district psychologist will then test the student for suspected disabilities, a classroom observation will be conducted by a special education teacher, and an interview with the parents will be conducted by the school social worker. • When the testing has been completed, another meeting will be held to discuss the results. If the child demonstrates a disability, the team will develop an IEP (Individualized Education Plan).

  4. What is an IEP? • Stand for an Individualized Education Plan • States what goals the student will be working towards (ex. Improving comprehension) • States what accommodations and modifications the student will be receiving (ex. Extra time) • States what type of support services the student will receive and for how many minutes (ex. Resource, Social Work, Speech and Language) • States what type of classroom environment the student will be in (ex. Self-Contained) • Renewed each year at an IEP meeting with teachers, support staff, and the parents

  5. Three Year Re-evaluations • Every three years, a ReTm (Re-evaluation Team Meeting) will be scheduled for the IEP team to discuss what testing needs to be re-administered. This is basically the same procedure the team followed during the CAT process. • Test results will be shared with the team during a Three Year Re-Evaluation Meeting with the IEP team. Based on the results of the testing, the students placement and/or support minutes may change.

  6. What is Resource? • Students receive extra help in the academic areas • listed on their IEP • Small groups or one-on-one attention • Push-in services • Modified curriculum
