Assessment and Diagnostic Services
Individualized Evaluations for Every Child
Marquette-Alger RESA staff work in collaboration with local school district assessment teams to identify students with disabilities that adversely impact learning. Assessment and diagnostic evaluations take into account the uniqueness of each child based on input from school personnel, parents, community professionals, and significant others.
The results of these evaluations are used to formulate individualized educational plans, including any accommodations or modifications necessary to promote student success.
Our Assessment Team
School Psychologists
Provide evaluations, behavioral assessments, and consultations. Evaluations can include the assessment of intellectual functioning, academic performance, and developmental and social-emotional functioning.
Teacher Consultants
Provide academic, behavior, and social-emotional assessments of students and consultation with school staff. Staff are given strategies and accommodations to enable students with learning and behavior challenges to progress in the general education curriculum.
School Social Workers
Intervene with students, student groups, parents, and school professionals to address social-emotional factors impacting student success. They provide a key link between school and home for students with a wide range of disabilities.
What to Expect
Every evaluation is tailored to the individual student. Our team gathers information from multiple sources — school personnel, parents, community professionals, and others who know the student well — to build a complete picture.
Results are used to develop an individualized educational plan with the specific accommodations and modifications that will help each student succeed.
