Once a referral has been made, an application for approval for evaluation to attend a 4201, state supported school (PHC-10) is completed. A current audiogram is needed to complete this application process. Please click the link below to access a PHC-10 form. This form can be completed and faxed to our office (914) 949-8260, along with a current audiogram.
The IDEA Notice of Policy Guidance of 1992 states that evaluations of students who are deaf or hard of hearing should provide information about the impact of hearing loss on the student’s language development and acquisition. Evaluators should be qualified and knowledgeable of deafness, and able to communicate with the child.
