An Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is a valuable assessment conducted by a specialist not affiliated with your child's school district. It provides an opportunity to obtain additional information or a second opinion regarding your child's disability. These evaluations encompass various academic, emotional, behavioral, social, and communication domains.

Seeking an IEE becomes particularly significant when you believe a school-based evaluation may not accurately or fairly interpret your child's strengths and weaknesses. It offers an alternative perspective and a chance to gain deeper insights into your child's educational needs. Furthermore, an independent evaluation can be requested if a previous school-administered educational evaluation provided insufficient information, yielded inconclusive results, or if the evaluator did not utilize appropriate diagnostic tools to explore the presenting problem fully.

Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), parents have the right to request an IEE conducted by an unbiased third party, and this evaluation is provided at no cost to you. This empowers you to ensure that an impartial professional thoroughly assesses your child's educational needs.
