Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs)
What is an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE)?
If a student’s family disagrees with the results of an evaluation conducted by the school district, the family may request an IEE at public (district’s) expense. An IEE is an evaluation conducted by a qualified examiner who is not employed by the school district responsible for the education of the student. While a request for an IEE is not required to be in writing, a written request is encouraged because it can serve as documentation of when the request was made. When the request for an IEE is granted, the school district must provide the family with a list of names of possible examiners and provide the evaluation to the student at no cost.
For more information on IEEs please visit the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction website at http://www.k12.wa.us/SpecialEd/Families/Evaluations.aspx.
IEEs at the UW Autism Center
The UW Autism Center is currently able to offer behavior-related IEE evaluations such as functional behavior assessments (FBA) completed by a behavior analyst. Our clinicians are specially trained and possess the necessary skills, experience, education, and licenses or credentials to provide an IEE. The assessments will include several sessions (e.g. assessment, observation, records review, and interview), a written report, and a feedback session.
Please complete the IEE Request Form (577 KB) to initiate the process with UWAC.
