Is parental consent needed in order to administer the DECA?
It is highly recommended that you seek parental permission prior to administering any form of child assessment. Often, parental consent is granted through a blanket letter at time of enrollment or at the beginning of each year which lists and describes all the assessment tools and evaluations to be conducted throughout the year.Follow this link for a sample Parental Consent Form that you can edit to meet your own program’s needs.
