Pupil Appriasial & Support  Services

The Pupil Appraisal & Student Services Team (PASS) is comprised of school support personnel who serve as child advocates and are qualified to diagnose exceptionalities and provide supplemental support services to students, parents and teachers. PASS services are accessed through the SBLC at the schools, or for non-school aged children by parents directly contacting the PASS Team. The PASS team, referred to from the state as Pupil Appraisal Services, is an integral part of the Einstein’s total instructional program.

Services includes child search activities; assistance to school personnel in the initial screening of children; prevention and intervention activities and if needed referral of children suspected of needing special education services; the education assessment program; evaluation; parent conferences; in-service training; consultation to students, parents and teachers; and the identification of those children qualifying for special education services.
 

A comprehensive multi-disciplinary evaluation is conducted by qualified examiners according to referral needs. These examiners include, but are not limited to educational diagnosticians, school psychologists, school social workers,   speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and adapted physical education teachers, who are all certified by the State Department of Education.
