An in-depth evaluation to confirm delays in special needs requires specialized training and expertise to administer. This type of evaluation is typically conducted by a team of professionals, such as a psychologist, a special education teacher, a speech therapist, and a medical doctor. The team will use a variety of assessment tools and techniques to evaluate the child's abilities and determine if there are any delays or disabilities. The evaluation may include standardized tests, observations, interviews with parents and teachers, and a review of medical records. The results of the evaluation can be used to develop an individualized education plan (IEP) for the child, which outlines specific goals and accommodations to help the child succeed in school.
