[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in a disagreement with the school regarding assessments/recommendations. We're in the process of getting an IEE done through Stixrud. However, the cost at Stixrud is greater than what the county says in 'reasonable & customary'. [b]The research I've done seems to indicate that once the school has agreed to an IEE, it's to be done at no cost to the parent as long as the evaluators meet the criteria set forth by the school.[/b] Stixrud certainly meets that criteria. Can I expect the county to fully reimburse us? Anyone been through this? FWIW, DC is a complex case. Thanks.[/quote] What is the exact language that you found indicating this? Please copy and paste it here so we can read it and give you a response. Thanks.[/quote] There are numerous writings about this, including WrightsLaw http://www.wrightslaw.com/blog/?p=8697 . I'm not looking for an interpretation of the law but what people have experienced with IEEs that exceeded the cap set by the school system. As many of us have experienced, the law may say one thing but the school district may do something different. Thanks.[/quote] That Wrightslaw page is confusing. At one point it says: [quote=Wrightslaw] There is no provision in the law that allows districts to limit the cost or that requires parents to pay a portion of the cost of an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE). - See more at: http://www.wrightslaw.com/blog/?p=8697#sthash.Ctfjwd2t.dpuf [/quote] although it qualifies it by saying that it's based on IDEA 97 (as if 10 years wasn't long enough to review IDEA 2004) and then later it says [quote=Wrightslaw] It is not inconsistent with IDEA for a district to publish a list of the names and addresses of evaluators that meet agency criteria, including reasonable cost criteria. - See more at: http://www.wrightslaw.com/blog/?p=8697#sthash.Ctfjwd2t.dpuf [/quote] [/quote]
