Season 3 Episode 12: Your Top IEE Questions Answered

You probably know that parents of students with special education needs are entitled to an Independent Educational Evaluation if they disagree with an evaluation conducted by the school district. But what happens if a parent's proposed IEE is expensive or far away or is conducted by unqualified individuals? Does the school still need to fund that kind of request? How long after an evaluation can a parent request an IEE and does he/she need to offer any kind of explanation for her dissatisfaction with the district's assessments? Join Lisa Woloszynek, Miriam Pearlmutter, and John Moenk, a law clerk and former school administrator, in exploring these questions as well as others we frequently receive about IEEs.
