The Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MET) often includes educational specialists who can provide direct
input regarding which assessments should be administered to students for determining special education
eligibility and making placement decisions. Students with specific documented needs in areas such as
speech-language, gross/fine motor, and social-emotional behaviors require specialists to be included to
ensure that the assessment results are properly analyzed. In turn, specific individualized services and
supports are considered so that students may access the general education setting and curriculum.
Teachers should have working knowledge of the assessments administered by specialists and understand
the rationale for their inclusion on the MET. This will aid their understanding of the applications of
specialized assessment results to the classroom and subsequent collaboration with families.
