Generally, the referral process is initiated through consultation with the teacher, child and parent. If a child is struggling academically and a learning difference is suspected, please contact the teacher to discuss their observations and suggestions.
If the student continues to struggle, the teacher should contact the Director of the Glenn Teaching and Learning Center to request a referral. The referral is organized by the Director of the Glenn Teaching and Learning Center and involves the collection of assignments and work history from those who work directly with the student.
Once a referral is complete, a meeting with the parents will be scheduled and a recommendation for testing may be suggested. This process differs slightly depending on the age of the student. We encourage any parent to contact their division's Learning Specialist with questions.
