Re: Max Bleu
Dear Mr. Verde:
We have just received the psychological evaluation of our son, Max, which was completed by district personnel. We disagree with the findings and recommendations of this evaluation. We would like to obtain an independent assessment at public expense pursuant to Cal. Ed. Code Sec. 56329(b).
[The above paragraph is all you need to send to the school district to request an IEE at the district’s expense. Additionally, you can but you do not have to, state your specific reasons for disagreeing with the results of the school district’s evaluations of your child, such as–]
- The school district’s evaluation was not done by someone who was qualified to perform the evaluation because [explain why the person who conducted the evaluation for the school district was not qualified and what qualifications are necessary to conduct this kind of evaluation];
- The evaluation did not provide enough information on which to base services or placement recommendations at the IEP meeting;
- The school district results are at odds with other testing done on your child, so clarification is needed.
We look forward to working with you to collaboratively agree on a qualified independent assessor and begin to move ahead with the independent assessment.
Sincerely yours,
Yolanda Bleu
