If you need assistance with any of the forms provided on this page, please contact: Chelsea Siegel, Principal, for assistance by phone at 707- 524-2700, or email at csiegel@scoe.org.
DHH Screening
Students are considered for referral to the DHH Program when district personnel complete and submit a DHH Screening Packet (see the forms listed below). This screening packet is reviewed by a SCOE DHH specialist to provide assistance to the district in determining if an assessment for special education eligibility is appropriate. If the district finds that an assessment is appropriate, then an assessment plan will be developed and sent to the parent or educational rights holder for review and consent.
DHH Referral
If an assessment is recommended, a SELPA Special Education Referral form is completed and signed by appropriate school personnel. Other documents may also be required from the school or sent to the student's parents at this time.
