Host: What is included in the evaluation?
Rene Hackney: It really depends on the category that they are looking for, for that child. There are services from as many as five or six different individuals, the psychologists, the speech language professionals, the social workers who may do a home study or interviews about that child's development and life skills. They are also occupational therapists or physical therapists often hired by schools to do evaluations.
