Special Education Advisor says: How does a parent, who doesn’t - TopicsExpress



          

Special Education Advisor says: How does a parent, who doesn’t have a degree in their child’s suspected disability, fight for the proper amount of services when the school specialist is recommending something less than the parent thinks is necessary. The parent could always get a private assessment done and submit the results to the IEP team, but not all parents have the means to pay for a private assessment. This is why IDEA allows parents to ask for an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) at public expense. The only way a School District can stop from paying for an IEE is to file for due process and convince a hearing officer that their original assessments were proper. IDEA is very clear in what a School District must do if they turn down a request for an IEE but it’s what happens when the School District says yes that can sometimes bother me the most.
