Keywords:
audiologist, physiotherapist, childhood, special educationAbstract
The purpose of any educational evaluation is to help teachers better understand their students' individual learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses so they can tailor their lessons accordingly. Learners with mental retardation can't only be evaluated by IQ testing; we also need to look at things like their social skills, academic progress, and the input they've had from their families, teachers, and other professionals. noted the following symptoms that may be present in young children who would later be diagnosed with mental retardation: Speech delay, motor delay, psychomotor delay, cognitive delay, social delay, and academic delay all occur. A multi-disciplinary team including an audiologist, physiotherapist, parents, social worker, special education instructors, and psychologist should do educational evaluation.
