Child Study Teams

A child study team consists of a school psychologist, a
learning disability teacher-consultant and a school social worker. For
children age 3 to 5, the child study team includes a speech
correctionist or speech-language specialist. The child study team,
with consent of the child's parents, evaluates the child and detemines
his or her eligibility for special education services.
Upon completion of the evaluation and prior to placement in
special education, an Individualized Education Program, with stated
goals and objectives, is written with the participation of the
parents. According to New Jersey Administrative Code, a full continuum
of alternative placements shall be available to meet the needs of
school-age children with educational disabilities. Program options
include: instruction in a regular class with all necessary and
appropriate supports, including but not limited to curricular or
instructional modifications, supplementary instruction,
speech-language services, resource center programs, assistive
technology; specialized instruction, teacher aids and related
services; a special class in the child's local school district; a
special education program in another local school district or county
special services school district; programs in hospitals or other
medical institutions; an approved private school; a program operated
by another department of state government; vocational rehabilation
facilities; or individual instruction at home.
