**Este módulo está disponible en español: Evaluación Inicial y la Reevaluación
Module 10 builds atop the introduction presented in Module 9 and looks at the specific requirements of IDEA regarding the initial evaluation of a child suspected of having a disability and how the results are applied to determining the child's eligibility for special education and related services. The reevaluation process is also described.
The module is available in English and Spanish, as you'll see below. It includes:
- a slideshow presentation;
- a Trainer's Guide;
- handouts for participants; and
- supplemental resources for trainers.
Please help yourself below, and download the components you need to learn on your own and/or to train others regarding IDEA 2004's many evaluation procedures.
Component #1: The Slideshows | Las Diapositivas
Use the 30 slides to structure a training session in either English or Spanish on initial evaluation and reevaluation under IDEA.
Need tips for downloading and using slideshows?
Component #2: Trainer's Guide | Guía para Entrenadores
There are 2 guides, an English and a Spanish, designed to show trainers how each slide operates (e.g., what clicks to make to move through the slide's content).
The English guide is where you'll find the full explanation of each slide's content. It also offers much additional info so that trainers can adapt training sessions to a length or detail suitable to the given audience.
The Spanish guide only shows how the slides operate, with thumbnail pictures of each slide. If you're a trainer in Spanish, you'll also want the English guide for its detailed content and supporting suggestions.

Find out how the Module 10 slideshow in Spanish works, what clicks to make, and what happens as a result. Explanations of the content of the slides are not included--you'll find those in the English version of the Trainer's Guide for Module 10 (just above).

Component #3: Handouts for Participants | Folletos para Participantes
The handouts for Module 10 are included in a packet of handouts designed to cover the entire umbrella topic of Theme C, Evaluating Children for Disability. If you've downloaded the handouts for Theme C already (for example, if you've already download all the materials for Module 9), you have the handouts you need for Module 10. If you haven't downloaded any handouts for Theme C yet, here they are in 2 different formats and 2 different languages.

Note about the Spanish Translations:
In preparing the handouts in Spanish, NICHCY has chosen to use a certain vocabulary set for the terminology most frequently used in IDEA. IDEA itself is extremely and purposefully consistent about its terminology, and we felt it critical to do the same in Spanish. However, we fully recognize that there are many ways to say the same thing, and Spanish is rich with alternatives from country to country, region to region. So we've also prepared a glossary of the terminology used in IDEA, how we've rendered that terminology in Spanish, and other ways of rendering it that families may also hear. Share this with participants as you see fit or use it to guide your own translations. The glossary of terminology is available in two formats, PDF and Word:
PDF | Glossary of English-Spanish Terminology
Word | Glossary of English-Spanish Terminology
Component #4: Resources for Trainers
English only
One resource for trainers is provided to accompany Module 10 and relates to initial evaluation and parent consent for wards of the State. This resource may be of interest to you or your audience. If so, choose between downloading a PDF file or an accessible Word file (or both, if you like).
There! You're all set to go for Module 10. Please remember that these materials are designed to be a thorough and authoritative source of info on evaluation under IDEA 2004. That's why they are so detailed. As a trainer, you are free to adapt the info we've offered to serve the purposes and needs of your audiences and the amount of time you have to spend with them.
