Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE)
Your Right to a Second Opinion
Disagree with your school district’s assessment? You have the right to an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) at public expense. An IEE is your opportunity to get an unbiased, comprehensive evaluation from a qualified professional outside the school system.
-
You may want to request an IEE if: - You believe the school’s evaluation was incomplete or inaccurate - Important areas of concern were not assessed - You disagree with the school’s eligibility determination - The assessment didn’t capture your child’s true abilities or challenges - You want a fresh perspective from an independent expert - The school’s recommendations don’t align with your child’s needs
-
Truly Independent: We have no affiliation with your school district, ensuring completely unbiased findings and recommendations.
Comprehensive & Thorough: We go beyond basic testing to provide a complete picture of your child’s learning profile, including strengths, challenges, and specific intervention needs.
Legally Defensible: Our evaluations meet all federal and state requirements and hold up under scrutiny in IEP meetings and due process proceedings.
Clear, Actionable Reports: You’ll receive a detailed written report that clearly explains findings in parent-friendly language while providing specific, practical recommendations the school must consider.
Expert Support: We’re available to answer your questions, explain results, and help you understand how to use the IEE to advocate for appropriate services.
-
1. Initial Consultation: We review the school’s evaluation, discuss your concerns, and determine the scope of the independent assessment.
2. Comprehensive Testing: Your child participates in thorough, individualized testing across all relevant areas using current, research-based assessment tools.
3. Detailed Analysis: We analyze results in the context of your child’s educational history, classroom performance, and unique circumstances.
4. Written Report: You receive a comprehensive report with findings, diagnostic impressions, and specific recommendations for services, accommodations, and interventions.
5. Results Explanation: We meet with you to thoroughly explain the findings and discuss how to use the IEE in your child’s IEP process.
