Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) Request Form

Independent Educational Evaluation Request Form

When parents or guardians disagree with a school district's evaluation of their child, federal law under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) grants them the right to request an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) at public expense. This form streamlines that process, helping families formally document their request while ensuring all required information is captured.

Why use Paperform for IEE requests?

Special education coordinators, school psychologists, and district administrators need a clear, compliant way to receive and process IEE requests. This template captures essential details—student information, the evaluation being disputed, reasons for disagreement, and qualified evaluator preferences—all in one organized submission.

With Paperform's conditional logic, the form adapts based on responses, showing only relevant questions and reducing confusion for parents who may already be navigating a complex process. Submissions can automatically route to the right department, trigger confirmation emails with next steps, and integrate with your student information system through Stepper or Zapier.

For districts managing multiple IEE requests, Paperform's reporting features provide visibility into timelines and trends, while eSignature capabilities through Papersign can handle any required consent forms or agreements as part of the follow-up workflow.

Whether you're a special education director looking to standardize intake, a parent advocate helping families understand their rights, or an educational consultant supporting districts with compliance, this template provides a professional, accessible starting point that respects both legal requirements and family concerns.
