When the parent or caregiver of a child with a disability does not agree with the results of the individualized evaluation of their child, as conducted by the school system, they have the right to obtain what is known as an Independent Educational Evaluation, or an IEE (§300.502).  In an IEE, a professional, competent evaluator who is not employed by the school system conducts another evaluation of the child.

The webpage from the Center for Parent Information and Resources (CPIR) provides a brief overview and links to additional resources.
