[quote=Anonymous]First, I believe IEP re-evaluations are required by federal law to take place every 3 years, but whether they are supposed to be complete or partial (meaning only rely on teacher input) I am not sure about. That being said,  I'm somewhat on the opposite end of the argument than other posters. My DS was initially tested in 1st grade and had a re-eval last year. However, the school relied on old information, despite the fact we kept pushing that we felt like there were additional issues keeping him from learning. After the re-eval, we sought an IEE. That report just came back with several learning disabilities that could have been identified or at least we would have known more evaluations were needed if the school had done the complete re-evaluation. I think it depends on whether your feel like your child is truly progressing or if there are issues. Honestly, if his last eval was elementary school and he is now a teenager, I'd do the re-eval. Even if that means lessening of services - which the eval would show he does not need - you are working with more information than you have at this point. More information, in my opinion, is always better. [/quote]
