MOE guide to professional assessment
Official guide to assessment for education support and SPED planning.
What this resource offers
MOE explains what a professional assessment can cover, what to bring and where families can seek assessment. It also explains that assessment can recommend educational placement and should be started well before a SPED application deadline. Use it to prepare informed questions, not to self-determine a school route.
