Referral to Special Education
Who can make a referral for special education?
The student's parent or legal guardian, school personnel, or another person involved in the education or care of the student can make a referral for special education. An LEA may not deny a referral or delay an initial evaluation because pre-referral interventions have not been implemented with a student.
