Who Can Request an IEE?

Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), parents have the right to request an IEE at public expense when they disagree with a district’s evaluation. If the district agrees or fails to prove their evaluation is appropriate, they must fund the IEE.
Districts can also choose to fund an IEE proactively, especially in complex cases or when an outside opinion is needed.

Our Process

Consultation – We meet with families and/or district representatives to clarify the area(s) of concern.

Records Review – We gather and review all previous evaluations and educational documentation.

Evaluation – We complete the IEE using validated tools, including in-person and remote components if needed.

Reporting – A detailed, TEA-aligned report is provided with actionable recommendations.

Support – We are available to attend ARD meetings and explain our findings when requested.
