Definitions of Assessment & Evaluation
Assessment is an ongoing, comprehensive process used to determine a student’s strengths and challenges in multiple areas
Evaluation may be defined as a specific set of assessments designed to determine eligibility for services under IDEA

Guiding Principles of Assessment Each individual has limitless potential
Each student has an individual spectrum of
characteristics, strengths and challenges that range
from mild to severe across various domains
Assessment tools should be chosen to gather
specific information based on the individual’s
characteristics, be appropriate across the spectrum,
and across the age-range

Guiding Principles of Assessment Assessment is comprehensive; it goes beyond
academics into various domains, such as sensory, social, behavior, and so forth
Information, observation, interviews, and interpretation by a skilled multidisciplinary team are each important to the assessment process
The essential information in assessment goes beyond the score on a particular assessment measure

Guiding Principles of Assessment
It is Important to understand the overlap in assessment and program planning:
Use a variety of tools to create the program Program to both the strengths and the challenges
across environments Behaviors occurring in multiple settings may be
prioritized over those that are limited to a single environment
Determine priority or recommendations – looking ahead to the next environment, values of family, building toward transitions, and importance for successful adult life, etc.
