Questions to consider when determining your child’s eligibility:

• Will the child’s condition respond to therapeutic intervention?  Can another professional working with the child address the problem?

• Has the child received the service previously and did they progress?

• Are the child’s therapy goals observable directly related to the child’s educational goals?

• What is the appropriate combination of direct and consultative services?

• Are the issues related to the child’s therapy a priority in relation to other issues?

• Does the child’s functional deficit reflect a significant delay relative to his or her peers?
