What Is an Independent Educational Evaluation?
An Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is a comprehensive assessment completed by a qualified professional not employed by your school district. Parents often request an IEE when they disagree with the district’s evaluation, want a deeper understanding of their child’s learning profile, or need a more accurate diagnosis to support IEP or 504 decisions. Our evaluations are objective, thorough, and focused on identifying a student’s strengths, challenges, and educational needs with clarity and precision.
Why Families Choose Us for Their IEE
Families select us because our evaluations balance clinical expertise with deep school-based experience. Every IEE is performed by highly trained evaluators who understand IDEA regulations, state-specific eligibility criteria, and how schools interpret data during IEP and 504 meetings. Our reports are detailed yet accessible, helping families and school teams make informed decisions with confidence.
We also bring a collaborative, non-adversarial approach. Schools often appreciate our clarity, depth, and alignment with educational best practices. Parents appreciate our responsiveness, communication, and the time we take to explain every detail.
