What is a Multidisciplinary Evaluation, and How Does It Proceed?

In order to determine the child's eligibility for
services, a multidisciplinary evaluation takes place. This must be completed within forty-five days of the referral, and an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) must be put in place. The purpose of the
evaluation is to determine the child's strengths and needs. It includes various procedures/observations, tests, interviews, play-based screenings, checklists, and other means. The evaluation must be
multidisciplinary, which means there must be people from various backgrounds to evaluate the child.
