All assessments, including the three-year re-evaluation, must be conducted in accordance with state and federal law.[1] The school district’s assessment plan should give you enough information to determine the appropriateness of the evaluation. If the plan is not comprehensive enough, you may suggest that additional tests be administered and/or may ask to postpone the IEP meeting until a comprehensive re-evaluation can be done. You may also challenge a re-evaluation’s lack of thoroughness through a due process hearing or state compliance complaint, or request an IEE on that basis.[2]
