Evesham Township School District Child Study Team (CST) Referral Form
What is a Referral?  

"Referral" means the written request for an initial evaluation to determine whether a student is eligible for” special education and related services (NJAC 6A:14-1.3) . A referral is made when one suspects a student (age 3-21) may have a disability due to physical, sensory, emotional, communication, cognitive or social difficulties.

Who can make a referral?

Referrals to the Child Study Team may come from the school district's instructional, administrative, and other professional staff, parents/guardians and state agencies concerned with the welfare of students.  

What happens once a referral is made?

Within 20 calendar days* of receiving a referral, the school district must hold a meeting to decide whether an evaluation is warranted.
  • School districts must, when appropriate, provide interventions in the general education setting to a student exhibiting academic difficulties, prior to referral for evaluation.
  • General education staff must keep written documentation of the type, frequency, duration and effectiveness of each intervention [6A:14-3.3(b)].
  • A student shall not be determined eligible if the determinant factor is due to a lack of instruction in reading, including the essential components of reading instruction, or mathematics, or if the student is an English language learner (ELL). [6A14-3.5]
*This time frame excludes district Board of Education holidays but does not exclude summer vacation.
