Pedagogical observation procedure

When determining a child’s psycho-physical condition and his/her readiness for kindergarten or school (experts, school’s physician, pedagogue, psychologist, special needs educationalist, teacher) can identify that a child is undergoing certain difficulties. The commission can suggest additional examination by specialists. However, in order to determine the child’s psycho-physical condition the enrolment commission more frequently suggests a pedagogical observation procedure, which is undertaken when the child’s special needs were not identified prior to entry into school. If the difficulty was identified before (e.g. in kindergarten), the parent(s) need(s) to provide full diagnostic documentation.
