Speech Evaluation done through a virtual meeting


Question

Posted

In Georgia 
My 12 year old informed me that he had his speech evaluation (doesn’t currently have an IEP but does have a 504) done over a zoom call. The evaluator is based in Florida.

i know COVID has brought on some funny ways of doing evaluations but how is this ok? There is no personal relationship made, they couldn’t physically see my son.

He does much better over a computer screen than in person as well. 

A large concern of mine was in social language.

I wasn’t told it would be a virtual evaluation. My 6 year old also has an IEP and he was alway seen in person.

On-line does work for some students, but it sounds like you have some valid specific concerns. I would put your concerns in writing, specifically that the evaluater was not able to see him, and that you are concerned with his social language. I would ask for an additional evaluation of his social language.
