[QUOTE="mamabear01, post: 282045, member: 7387"] gcvmom, I am going thru the process of and IEE right now. I'm suspecting thats what you mean by and Independent review? First here's a site owned by a lawyer in San Francisco that has LOTS of information on education law regarding all children with disability's.... the main focus is Autism, but the information really applies to all children with a disability. On his site he has a section called sample letters. I have used a few of these letters when communicating with our school district. [URL="http://www.aboutautismlaw.com"]www.aboutautismlaw.com[/URL] And here's one of his letters you should use to ask for this IEE. It's really important that you start documenting everything you can and start communicating with the school thru letters. As Pete Wright says, if it's not written then it wasn't said (or something like that lol). Pete Wright is a very well known education atty and his site is incredible too. It's [URL="http://www.Wrightslaw.com"]www.Wrightslaw.com[/URL] Now after you send this letter, if they still refuse then they have to by law file for Due Process to prove their testing was adequate and accurate.
