Which component is the seventh major component of an evaluation report?

• A. Recommendations
• B. Referral Source
• C. Background information
• D. Tests Administered/Assessment Format

Answer: (A)

Recommendations are the part of an evaluation report that turns what was found into a practical plan. After presenting results and interpretations, this section specifies what should happen next: targeted interventions, supports or accommodations, suggested services, referrals if needed, and a plan for monitoring progress. That bridge from data to action is why it sits as a seventh major component—it serves as the concrete roadmap for educators, clinicians, and families to implement change. The other parts—who requested the evaluation, the client’s background, and the tests or procedures used—provide essential context and documentation, but they don’t directly outline the actionable steps to address the identified needs.
