If you as the parent would like to see if your child would benefit from an IEP, you can start by contacting your school district or your child’s school. After this initial referral step, your child will need to complete evaluations for eligibility.
Following these assessments, if your child is determined to be eligible for special education services, the school is required to hold a meeting within 30 days (which you will attend) to develop the IEP.
