Has your child been evaluated through your current school district? Was your child found not eligible for special education services, and you disagreed with those results? Or is your child on an IEP, but he or she is not making the progress you would expect, receiving failing grades, or receiving continued behavioral referrals or suspensions? If you find yourself answering yes to the questions above, you may be eligible for an IEE that is paid for by your child’s school district.

An IEE is a private evaluation that provides a parent or guardian the opportunity to obtain their own evaluation of their child when they disagree with the school district’s results/recommended educational program. This is a right of all parents or guardians whose child has been tested through the schools and provided in IDEA (special education law).
