What is a CORE evaluation?
A CORE evaluation is a comprehensive evaluation conducted through the New Bedford School Department to determine if a student meets criteria for special education services. The evaluation may consist of one or more of the following assessments: A psycho-educational assessment, a home assessment, a health assessment, an educational assessment, and a student observation. Other assessments may be recommended as deemed necessary. If you have ongoing concerns about your child’s school performance and feel his/her performance is compromised due to a disability, please contact the school adjustment counselor to discuss your options.
