Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) requires a multidisciplinary evaluation involving professionals from various disciplines to assess a child in all areas of suspected disability. It also requires a family-directed assessment, wherein parents or caregivers provide vital information about the child's strengths, needs, and abilities that can help the evaluation team develop an individualized education program (IEP) that meets the child's unique requirements.
