Thorough assessments ensure appropriate placement for your child.
A thorough and accurate assessment is extremely important, and the Prentice staff does everything in their power to make it a comfortable and stress-free process for your child.
Prentice uses the following criteria to help determine if our program is appropriate for your child:
- Intellectual testing using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Third Edition. The child's full-scale IQ must be within the average range of intellectual functioning (90 or above).
- Identification of a Specific Learning Disability based on psychological testing, language and achievement test scores.
- Written documentation indicating that the child does not demonstrate conduct disorders, emotional problems or other conditions that require special accommodations and/or treatment.
- Evaluation with the Slingerland Screening Tests for Identifying Children with Specific Language Disability.
- Indications that coexisting attention deficits are not at a level that would interfere with classmates' opportunities for learning.
- A review of previous scholastic records, including a report from a current teacher.
"Prentice has become a school of contented children. It proves to me that children respond positively when in a gentle, kind, but firm atmosphere."
—Prentice teacher
