which of the following is true regarding how a child may be considered for special education evaluation?
choose an option below
only parents can request an evaluation.
school district employees can suspect a disability and seek parental consent.
evaluations always have a cost associated with them.
parental consent is not required for initial evaluations.

Explanation:

• The first option is false because school staff can also request an evaluation, not just parents.
• The second option is true: school district employees (like teachers, administrators) who suspect a child has a disability can initiate the process by seeking parental consent for an evaluation, as per special education regulations (such as IDEA in the US).
• The third option is false because public school special education evaluations are provided at no cost to parents under federal laws.
• The fourth option is false: parental consent is required before an initial special education evaluation can be conducted.

Answer:

B. School district employees can suspect a disability and seek parental consent.
