Referral Process
The following steps represent the process for a referral to a state special school:
• If all resources and options have been exhausted, the IEP team makes a referral directly to the state school. Transportation required to attend CSDR is scheduled through the DMSELPA via the Program Manager Due Process department. • The LEA will provide a copy of the state school referral to the DMSELPA (to the MIS Analyst) so that the DMSELPA is able to keep track those students who attend state schools for LEA IEP invitation and attendance only.

Diagnostic Centers
California Education Code § 59201. The diagnostic centers are a part of the public school system of the state, except that they derive no revenue from the State School Fund. The diagnostic centers provide services, including pupil assessment, consultation, technical assistance, and training, to school districts, county offices of education, and special education local plan areas. The Diagnostic Centers, which were established nearly 50 years ago, are the California Department of Education’s (CDE) foremost providers of specialized services and assistance to students with disabilities, their families, and LEAs. The Diagnostic Centers provide high quality assessments to hundreds of students each year and conduct valued training programs for thousands of educators and families across the State of California.
