The New Mexico School for the Deaf provides comprehensive evaluation services to students who have a diagnosed hearing loss and are enrolled in their Local Education Agency. in the State of New Mexico. A LEA may pursue such services when it determines that it does not have the resources or specialized staff to conduct an evaluation of a student who is Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Depending on the needs of the students, which are determined with input from the parents of the child, staff members from the LEA, and the appropriate Outreach Specialist, evaluations are conducted by the Outreach Evaluation Team, which may include an Outreach Specialist, Educational Diagnostician, Audiologist, Speech Language Pathologist, and ASL Specialist. The evaluation domains of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and behavior are typically not addressed by the Outreach Evaluation process, as they are areas that are best addressed locally, in natural contexts.
