1. An individually administered, standardized test of cognitive ability must be used in assessing the cognitive abilities of a pupil with a disability. If a score other than the total score of the pupil on such a test is used to assess the pupil's cognitive abilities, the procedure must be justified, on the basis of professionally recognized criteria, in the records of the pupil maintained by the public agency.
2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, any interpretation of an assessment of cognitive abilities must be made by a licensed school psychologist or licensed or certified psychologist. In the case of a pupil under the age of 6 years, any such interpretation may be made by a licensed school psychologist or a licensed or certified psychologist with documented training in the assessment of preschool pupils with disabilities.
