What our organization recommends for parents who think that their child might have special education needs is that they have all the necessary assessments conducted by their school. You can also do private assessments on your own if you wish. However, parents need to realize that under the law, the school only needs to consider your assessments, they don't necessarily have to follow them. If you disagree with your school's assessments, you can always request an independent educational evaluation, or an IEE, and that is at public expense. That is an evaluation done by someone not employed by the school district. If your school district refuses your request for an IEE, then they must take you to due process and explain to a judge why their assessments were accurate.
