A plain-language view of referral, document review, assessment and placement decisions.

The placement process

Families usually begin with the learner’s current school or district office. Supporting reports and SIAS documents are reviewed. A multidisciplinary team may evaluate the learner for the district. The district official then recommends and confirms an appropriate LSEN placement.

  • Begin the referral through the correct school or district route
  • Submit complete educational, medical and therapy information
  • Take part in assessment or consultation when requested
  • Wait for the district’s formal placement decision
