[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 199534, member: 2423"] You want an IEP, not a 504 plan, so you should not mention 504 at all in your letter. I also wouldn't go into too much detail about ADHD because you want the school evaluation to cover all areas of suspected educational impact. Here's the text of the letter I recently submitted to get my daughter's IEP process started: [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][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][/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman]This letter serves as parental consent for the evaluation. If additional information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact us. [/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [COLOR=#000000]You should send the letter certified mail or hand-deliver it. The date it is received starts a timeline under which the evaluation must be completed.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Hope that helps. Please feel free to post any further questions.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
