Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A multi-factored evaluation for students with disabilities typically involves a combination of normed-referenced tests, one or more criterion-referenced tests, and/or authentic assessments. It takes into account various factors such as academic performance, behavior, and social-emotional development to determine eligibility for special education services or to develop appropriate intervention plans. Actual data collection with specific assessment tools such as the TGMD-2 or BOT-2 may be a part of the evaluation process, but it is not the only factor considered. The fact that a student is already eligible for special education services (i.e., APE services) does not necessarily mean that a multi-factored evaluation is not necessary or beneficial.
