Evaluation Request Checklist

How to start an evaluation the right way.

Steps

  • Put your request in writing (email or letter) and date it
  • Address it to the special-education coordinator or principal
  • State your child's name, grade, and your specific concerns
  • Keep a copy — the date starts the legal clock
  • Watch for the school's response and assessment plan
  • Track your state's evaluation deadline
