Thank you for taking the time to complete the MCARS. Your responses are essential and will help provide clear guidance and next steps for educational support. The assessment is straightforward, takes only a few minutes, and all information is handled securely through JotForm.
The MCARS is designed to be part of the decision-making process when school teams determine the need for mandated counseling services and interventions within a student’s educational program. Mandated counseling services are typically included in the student’s IEP or 504 Plan. To ensure comprehensive data-based decision making, the MCARS should be completed by gathering input from various members of the school team, such as teachers, school psychologists, school counselors, related service providers, nurses, and administrators. Mandated counseling is generally offered when a student's functioning in school is significantly impacted by social, emotional, or behavioral concerns. The MCARS assesses students' functioning in several areas to inform these decisions.
