What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Which report recommendations are school-related and tied to if attention and executive-function findings are written as teachable supports and measurable school routines.
Confirm the IEP sections that should respond are updated: present levels, executive-function goals, accommodations, behavior supports, services, progress monitoring, and teacher implementation notes.
Look for records showing the team connected the key school-related recommendation with school data, the written IEP record, or a documented refusal when a specific change was requested.
Sample outside-report finding
Private ADHD Evaluation recommendations need an IEP crosswalk
What the record shows
The private ADHD evaluation recommends task initiation support and daily assignment checks, but the IEP has no staff-owned routine.
What to ask for
Request in writing that the team identify which one or two school-related recommendations it considered, what school data it is relying on, and if any requested change was accepted, trialed, refused, or needs more data.
A written request you can use
Send one specific question
“Please show which ADHD evaluation recommendations are written into the IEP and how the team will measure if they work.”
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 school have to follow a private ADHD evaluation?
If a parent shares a private evaluation, ask the team to document how the results were considered when making IEP decisions. That does not mean the team will adopt every recommendation. Ask what school data and reasoning supports any recommendation the team is not adopting.
What should I compare first?
Start with attention, impulsivity, executive function, working memory, organization, emotional regulation, and school recommendations, then compare those findings with present levels, executive-function goals, accommodations, behavior supports, services, progress monitoring, and teacher implementation notes.
What if the school says it considered the report but changed nothing?
Ask where that response is documented. If you requested an IEP, evaluation, or service change and the team refused it, ask if Prior Written Notice (PWN) will be provided.
