Next Steps: Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team Assignment

As noted in your text, “As a result of the IDEA 2004 regulations, schools are moving toward a more global approach for the identification of students with suspected disabilities through the development of a district-based   team. This team may be referred to as the multidisciplinary team (MDT or MET) . . . This team usually comes into operation when the local school-based team (child study team) has conducted a screening and suspects a disability. Once that is determined, then the MDT or MET takes over. This team is mandated by IDEA 2004 so that the child and parents are guaranteed that any comprehensive evaluation be conducted by different professionals to decrease the possibility of subjective and discriminatory assessment.”
