ESI-R Refer
When a child scores in the refer range, consult with the parent and the Coordinator to discuss next steps for the child. If it is determined that a referral is appropriate, work together with the parent to complete the Request for ISD Consultation form found below. At this time, have the parent sign the Disclosure with Parental Consent form and turn into your Coordinator. This will allow them to request a copy of the child's IEP if the child is found eligible for services.
