With the family's verbal permission, the EDN Services Coordinator will follow-up with the referral to advise of the status/outcome of the child's referral.
What happens after I make a referral to EDN?
· Families who choose to participate receive an evaluation by the local school district to determine the unique needs of the child and his/her eligibility. The evaluation is to be conducted in the family's native language, if feasible. The local school district staff evaluates the child in 5 domains to determine the child's specific verification for EDN Special Education services and to determine which services will best improve the development of the child.
· EDN does not require proof of citizenship to receive evaluation or services.
· Once a child is verified per state/federal criteria as eligible for EDN services, and Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) is developed which sets goals for the child/family and identifies activities/services needed to achieve those goals. Currently, the IFSP is available in Spanish and Vietnamese. Once a referral is received by the local EDN agency, the evaluation and IFSP is completed and implemented in a maximum of 45 days.
· All medical/health and related professionals working with the child should receive a copy of the IFSP from the Child's Services Coordinator, with parent permission, as all are working together as a team to service the child.
