Ensure that professionals being asked to assess individuals have cross-cultural evaluation experience.

When contracting for or developing referral arrangements for qualified professionals to provide assessments or diagnoses, ensure that the professional:

· Has experience conducting culturally appropriate assessments.

· Uses a qualified interpreter, not a family member for interpreting for non-English speakers.

See specific conditions that assessments on non-English speakers must meet for:

· Developmental Disability, see 17.18 (Developmental Disability).

· IQ Below 80, see 17.24 (IQ Below 80).

· Learning Disability, see 17.27 (Learning Disability).
