Get a formal evaluation request letter, your rights under IDEA, and steps to enforce them.
Under IDEA, schools must evaluate any child suspected of having a disability — at no cost to you. If they refuse, they're violating federal law.
IDEA gives you the right to request a special education evaluation. The school has to respond within a reasonable time — usually 30 days.
A formal request letter creates a paper trail and shows the school you're serious. It often gets results when verbal requests don't.
If the school still refuses, you have options — including state complaints and due process. The guide shows you how to do it.
