May a parent choose one approved evaluator to conduct a developmental screening and a different approved evaluator to conduct the evaluation?
No. The parent selects an evaluator to conduct the multidisciplinary evaluation for the child. The evaluator may, with parent consent, screen a child to determine what type of evaluation, if any, is necessary unless the child is known to have a condition with a high probability of resulting in developmental delay. If the evaluator conducts a screening, with parental consent, the evaluator is responsible for conducting the full multidisciplinary evaluation if the screening indicates an evaluation is needed.
