Is the school evaluation missing the full picture?

You feel the school's assessment didn't capture your child's true struggles or potential.

Feeling Unheard

Evaluations didn't account for your child’s home language, leading to a possible misdiagnosis.

What exactly is an IEE?

An Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is an evaluation conducted by a qualified examiner who is not employed by the school district. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), parents have the right to request an IEE if they disagree with the district's evaluation. 

 

In California, IEEs are a parent right and are often fully funded by the school district.
