This session will focus on the criteria and decision-making processes involved in qualifying and dismissing students from speech and language services. Participants will engage in a comprehensive discussion on the eligibility requirements for speech and language services, including the use of assessments, standardized scores, and functional communication needs. The session will also address best practices for determining when a student no longer requires services, ensuring that decisions are evidence-based and based on state requirements. Practical examples and case studies will be shared to help participants navigate the complexities of eligibility determination and dismissal procedures.
