What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Which IEE findings and recommendations were considered by the team.
Which recommendations were accepted, rejected, deferred, or left without a written response.
Look for records showing the IEP changed in present levels, goals, services, accommodations, placement, or progress monitoring.
Sample checker finding
IEE result was considered verbally only
What the record shows
The evaluator recommended assistive technology and writing goals, but the meeting notes do not show if the team accepted, rejected, or deferred those recommendations.
What to ask for
Ask the IEP team to document its response to the school-related recommendations and identify the IEP pages affected.
A written request you can use
Send one specific question
“Please document how the IEP team considered each school-related IEE recommendation, including which items are accepted, rejected, deferred, or need more data, and where those decisions appear in the IEP or PWN.”
Document based IEP review
Check the pages you already have
The review reads the pages you upload, points to the wording behind each concern, and helps you prepare questions. It does not send anything to your school or decide a legal claim.
Common questions
Does the IEP team have to consider IEE results?
IDEA requires consideration of qualifying IEE results in decisions about FAPE. That does not mean every recommendation is automatically adopted.
What should I check in the IEP?
Check present levels, eligibility, goals, services, accommodations, placement, progress monitoring, meeting notes, and PWN for the team's response.
What if the team ignores the IEE?
Put this in writing: the team should document how it considered the report and what data supports any decision not to adopt a school-related recommendation.
