[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 195465, member: 2423"] Here is the text of a letter I sent to the principal of my younger daughter's school to start the IEP process: [COLOR=#000000]We suspect that our daughter, M, has a disability based on continued academic struggles and recent psychological and educational testing that we will provide to the school under separate cover. As a result, we are requesting that a full and initial evaluation in accordance with IDEA be conducted to determine if M is eligible for special education and related services.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]This letter serves as parental consent for the evaluation. If additional information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact us. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]I hand-delivered the letter to the principal, with a copy to the head special education teacher at M's school. This letter started a timeline under which the school must evaluate to determine if M qualifies for an IEP. Our first meeting -- an eligibility screening meeting -- will take place next Tuesday. If the IEP team suspects an educational disability at that meeting, the team will conduct an evaluation (looking at the testing and other informal measures) to determine if the disability has an impact on M's ability to access her education.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]I hope that helps.
