The Professionally Recognized Special Educator certificate in educational diagnosis (PRSE-ED) is facing possible termination by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), primarily due to the lack of an examination that would serve as an assessment component for PRSE-ED candidates. After an overview of the history of the PRSE-ED credential program, this article discusses the Council for Educational Diagnostic Services' (CEDS) position on the PRSE-ED, prior efforts to resolve the examination issue, a similar movement by another professional organization, states and agencies in the United States that license diagnosticians and their impact on the PRSE-ED program, and need for continuation of the PRSE-ED program. The authors conclude with CEDS' recommendation to CEC of a cost-effective, criterion-referenced test that could serve as the examination component for the PRSE-ED program.
