Individual Educational Evaluations (IEE)
What we do?
IEE Services
At The Traveling School Psych, we provide Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) for families across Texas. If you disagree with your child’s school evaluation, an IEE gives you an objective, thorough, and child-centered assessment to ensure your child’s needs are fully understood.
What Is an Independent Educational Evaluation?
An Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is a comprehensive assessment conducted by a qualified professional outside of the school system. Parents have the legal right to request an IEE if they disagree with the results of a school’s evaluation. Our IEEs provide unbiased insight into your child’s learning strengths, challenges, and needs.
Why Parents Request an IEE?
Parents often seek an IEE when:
The school’s evaluation feels incomplete or inaccurate.
Their child continues to struggle despite supports.
They want a trusted second opinion before important IEP or ARD meetings.
IEEs empower families with clarity and confidence during the special education process.
Benefits of an Independent Evaluation for Your Child
- Accurate Insights – Understand the root causes of your child’s learning or behavioral struggles.
- Better Advocacy – Walk into meetings with a professional report that supports your requests.
- Peace of Mind – Know you’ve explored every option to secure the right services.
