GENERAL

Testing and remedial centers governed by this chapter include a clinic, laboratory or similar agency, other than a day school, which engages in reading and psycho-educational testing and provides a prescriptive program of educational remediation for school age children.

(2) Psycho-educational center—A center which may conduct individual and group diagnostic studies to assess current functioning levels of school age students; identify strengths and weaknesses in learning; assess personality and social factors which affect learning and personal adjustment; and categorize school age students for whom special services or special education programs, or both, are needed.
