Placement DiscussionBefore CDH Educational Center is involved, the student's home district IEP team typically has a meeting to discuss placement. Prior to sharing a child's records with another school, parents must give written permission for the district to share their child's information.

Contacting CDHPotential referrals: District representatives usually contact CDH Educational Center to share the student's information and inquire about possible openings. At this time, CDH requests the student's most recent IEP and evaluations for review. CDH currently only accepts students placed through their school districts as part of the IEP process, but parents are always welcome to contact us at any time with any questions that they might have about our program.

|
Tour CDHAfter reviewing the IEP/evaluations, CDH will contact the district and/or family to schedule a tour of the school. During this time, parents and district representatives are able to meet with a member of administration to discuss the program and the needs of the student.

|
Student ObservationIf the team agrees that CDH may be an appropriate placement, we will arrange a time to observe the student in their current educational environment (school, therapy or other setting) to better understand the student's needs and learner profile.
|
|
Determination of AcceptanceNext, the CDH team will contact the district regarding whether or not CDH would be an appropriate placement for the student. Many factors go in to determining acceptance, including but not limited to: the ability of the school to meet the needs outlined in the current IEP, and the availability of space in an appropriate classroom (based on age, skills, and needs).
