TESTING AND EVALUATION CENTER
The Testing & Evaluation Center of Dallas Services believes in the philosophy
and recommended practices of both general and special education:
* All children can learn
* Learning is a process that requires a strong partnership between the home and the school
* Children learn best when the family and school work together to build self-confidence, skills and enjoyment
* A successful child/student is one who achieves his/her potential
* Learning strengths should be emphasized
* Learning weaknesses should be addresses
* Addressing learning weaknesses early helps eliminate problems that occur later
The center offers a complete battery of cognitive, developmental and academic
achievement evaluations on a sliding scale. All are used to determine developmental
levels and well as cognitive/academic strengths and weaknesses. The battery
includes standardized instruments selected so that a child's development and
learning can be compared to his/her peers. In addition, observations and interviews
may be included. These are used to determining the presence of giftedness or any
learning challenges, learning disabilities or developmental delays. Through
identifying these, specific interventions and strategies are developed to aid
parents and the school to help each child achieve their potential.
