Library U n iv ersity e f Oregon Education Evaluation Center To Be Established In Curry *> The Curry County Inter mediate Education District recently received a Title Vl-b Federal Grant to establish an Education Evaluation Center. This is a diagnostic and pre scription center for children with learning disabilities. The evaulations include a psychological. educational, speech, hearing and language assessment report that is sent to the schools, other concerned agencies and parents. The re ports include recommendations to the school and to the par ents as to the methods and ma terials that may be used and the psychological climate recommended to help a child overcome his academic learning handicap. The advantages of establish ing a satellite center are con sidered to be as follows: 1. It will provide efficient and effective diagnostic and prescriptive services to child ren in an existing program. 2. It will provide diagnostic and prescriptive services for children with difficult learning disabilities. 3. The satellite center will receive materials developed by the Model Center-Learning Disabilities (Education Eval uation Center). 4. The evaluation personnel, school psychologist, extreme learning problem teacher and speech and hearing specialist, will receive a special one-week training program in August 1975. 5. On-site visits will be made by Model Center personnel from Oregon College of Edu cation to help in the develop ment of the satellite center during the first year of oper ation.
