Selection Criteria
Catholic schools are committed to providing an educational
environment in which all students have an opportunity for success. Special
education programs such as the ARHS Resource Specialist Program provide
accommodations and minimal modifications based on the student’s current
Educational Evaluation, Individual Educational Program (IEP), and/or Private
School Individual
Services Plan (ISP), which supports their qualification to receive services.
ARHS follows specific guidelines when considering students for the special
education
program. The student MUST meet the following documentation criteria
to be considered for the RSP.
A student MUST have a comprehensive Educational Evaluation completed within
the last two years by a licensed professional (public or private) who is qualified
to administer and interpret intelligence and achievement tests.
This documentation must:
• provide a clear statement regarding the nature of the
learning disability;
•
validate the need for services based on the individual’s current
level of functioning in the educational setting;
• include the names of tests administered and all subtest scores;
• include an analysis of test performance;
• provide recommendation for services.
Some Possible Tests for Assessing Individual’s Needs
These are acceptable tests but it is a partial listing. Please have
the licensed assessor contact the Resource Specialist to discuss any
other types
of these tests that could be used.

Information from subtests on WAIS-R or Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-educational
Battery - Revised; Tests of Cognitive AbilityIf a student has
an active Individual Educational Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan developed
by public schools, it MUST be submitted with the Educational
Evaluation. The document should contain all necessary documents (assessment
reports, IEP team recommendations, etc.). These are usually
developed for a student who has been assessed and qualified as having
special learning
needs by
a public school
district. Students who attended a private school will not necessarily
have this document. Therefore, the educational assessment is
preferred to determine
if services can be provided by the private school. .
