Educational Panel Led by Roderick Smith and William Deveney Explores Special Education Evaluation Procedures

NORWOOD – Providing parents and educators with a practical understanding of special education protocols, the Special Needs Association hosted an informative “mock core evaluation” on Monday night, November 15, 1976, at the Oldham School Library.

The structured demonstration was led by educational specialists Roderick Smith and William Deveney, alongside school representatives from all professional disciplines involved in conducting a formal student core evaluation. The session walked attendees through the complex multi-disciplinary assessment process, offering clarity on rights, procedures, and support mechanisms. Local residents seeking further information regarding special education resources were encouraged to contact Maureen Joseph at 769-1019.
