### Streamline Special Education Evaluations with Paperform

Determining special education eligibility requires careful documentation, collaboration across multiple specialists, and clear communication with families. This **Special Education Eligibility Determination Form** template helps school districts, educational institutions, and special education teams collect comprehensive assessment data in one organized, professional format.

#### Built for Multidisciplinary Teams

Special education evaluations involve input from psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, teachers, and administrators. This template creates a centralized place for team members to document their findings, reference diagnostic criteria, and collaboratively determine eligibility and placement recommendations.

#### Why Paperform for Special Education?

With Paperform's intuitive editor, you can customize this template to match your district's specific evaluation protocols and compliance requirements. The form guides evaluators through essential sections including student background, assessment results across developmental domains, diagnostic criteria checklists, and evidence-based placement recommendations.

**Conditional logic** helps streamline the process—only relevant sections appear based on the disability categories being evaluated. This keeps forms focused and reduces administrative burden on already-busy evaluation teams.

#### Automation That Supports Compliance

Special education eligibility decisions come with strict timelines and documentation requirements. Connect this form to **[Stepper](https://stepper.io)** to automatically trigger next steps: notify parents of decisions, generate IEP meeting invitations, route forms for administrative approval, or update your student information system. These automations help districts stay compliant with IDEA timelines while reducing manual follow-up work.

You can also integrate with tools your team already uses—send completed evaluations to Google Drive for record-keeping, log decisions in Airtable or your district's CRM, or ping Slack channels when urgent cases need attention.

#### Secure, Professional, and Collaborative

Student records require the highest levels of security and professionalism. Paperform is **SOC 2 Type II compliant** with robust access controls, ensuring sensitive evaluation data remains protected. Use roles and permissions to control who can view or edit submissions, and maintain a clear audit trail of all team input.

Whether you're a school psychologist, special education director, or evaluation coordinator, this template provides the structure and flexibility you need to conduct thorough, compliant eligibility determinations that support every student's success.
