The timing of a new assessment can vary based on the individual’s needs, severity of the problems, and specific reason for needing reevaluation (i.e., seeking standardized testing accommodation, determining need for medication support, etc.). However, it is generally recommended that reassessment occur every 2 to 4 years, in order to document the student’s progress, evaluate response to intervention, and update treatment planning.
Testing conducted for purposes of an IEP is targeted and is done in order to determine eligibility for special education services. As such, an IEP evaluation typically does not include the full scope of testing provided in a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation. Results from an IEP evaluation will determine whether the student meets criteria for one of the categories determined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), such as specific learning disability, speech or language impairment, or emotional disturbance. However, these categories are assigned for the purposes of determining supports that the students needs to access the curriculum, and arenot the same as a clinical diagnosis.
