Subject: Request for Comprehensive Special Education Evaluation
Dear [Principal/Special Education Director’s Name],
I am writing to formally request that my child, [Child’s Full Name], receive a comprehensive disability evaluation under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
I am requesting that this evaluation include, but not be limited to:
- Academic achievement
- Speech and language
- Occupational therapy (fine motor skills, sensory processing)
- Physical therapy (gross motor skills, mobility, coordination, balance)
- Social/emotional and behavioral functioning
- Adaptive skills
My child has demonstrated ongoing challenges that impact her ability to fully access and benefit from her education, including difficulties with mobility, coordination, playground participation, and stamina for school activities.
Please consider this letter my written consent to proceed with the evaluations. I understand that under IDEA, the school must provide Prior Written Notice explaining how it will respond to my request and complete the evaluation within the required timeline.
I appreciate your prompt attention and look forward to reviewing the results so we can work together to ensure my child receives the services and supports she needs to succeed.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Parent/Guardian of [Child’s Name]
