In this professional development podcast course, you will be provided a thorough introduction to Independent Educational Evaluations by expert Danielle De Lorenzo, OTR/L. If you have been a school-based OT for a few year, you have likely been in a meeting where results of an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) were shared by an OT that has no affiliation with that school, district, or any part of the department of education. In this professional development podcast, Danielle shares how we can best prevent IEEs and how we can prepare for being in a meeting where an IEE is presented. She also shares what should be included in an IEE as an IEE evaluator.
Objectives for this Professional Development Podcast. Listeners will:
- Learn the primary reasons that lead to parents asking for an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) and what they can do to in an attempt to prevent IEEs
