related services, and oversees an EDIS evaluation used in determining a
child's need for related services.
    (i) This medical or related services evaluation, including necessary
consultation with other medical personnel, shall be supervised by a
physician or other qualified healthcare provider.
    (ii) This medical evaluation shall include a review of general
health history, current health assessment, systems evaluation to include

adaptive skills, psychological status, and visual and audiological
capabilities, including details of present level of performance in each
of these areas affecting the student's performance in school.
    (iii) The EDIS-related services evaluation shall be specific to the

    (iii) Notify the CSC of the additional evaluation activities.

placement, or requirements for related services that EDIS provides are
to be determined.
