Question

Explain some important steps in making a referral when a child requires additional support?

Answer 1

Some important steps in making a referral when a child requires additional support are as follows:-

• Recognition
  This is one of the first steps when it comes to the whole referral process. This is because at first all of the children have needs but the teacher or the mentor should be able to recognize when a child has some special needs.
  
• Pre-referral
  This step is to provide the child with some additional help before he or she may be referred for some special education. This is a necessary step which should be undertaken by the teachers for effective intervention before the problem grows.
  
• Referral
  This step is undertaken when the special attention and intervention also do not end up in helping the child. The child is then referred to for some special education by the teachers or the parents.
  
• Evaluation
  The evaluation of the child is need to be done after 60 days post the date of referral. This is to be done by special educators to understand the extent to which special education has been able to help the child in addressing the concerns which were present.
