REQUESTING AN EVALUATION
To seek an evaluation for your child, make an oral or written
request by contacting either the Special Education Liaison in
your district of residence or the IU 1 Consultant for Non public
Schools. Be sure to include all areas of concern as part of the
evaluation request (academic achievement, speech and
language, emotional or behavioral, attention, motor skills, etc.).
In response to an oral request, the district or IUl will send you
a Permission To Evaluate- Evaluation Request Form within
10 calendar days to document the discussed areas of need. It
will also include school district or IU1 contact information and
a Procedural Safeguard Notice explaining your rights. Once
you have confirmed the accuracy of the information, sign and
return this form to the designated person listed on the form.
In response to a written request or after the completion of a
Permission to Evaluate - Evaluation Request Form, you will
receive a Prior Written Notice, a Permission to Evaluate -
Consent Form, and a Procedural Safeguard Notice
explaining your rights. These forms will describe the process
and timeline that will be used for the evaluation, and ask for
your consent for the evaluation to begin. After determining
that the information is correct, return the signed consent form as
soon as possible to begin the 60 calendar day evaluation
process.
