IEP Readiness FAQ
What documents do I need?
You generally need a formal diagnosis, recent report cards, teacher observational notes, and any private evaluations (OT, SLP, or psychological) that demonstrate educational impact.
How long does the process take?
From the moment you request a "Full and Individual Evaluation" (FIE) in writing, schools typically have 60 days to complete evaluations and another 30 days to hold an eligibility meeting.
