Address Line 1 Address Line 2 Subject: LEA Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) dated xx/xx/xxxx – Johnny Doe (DOB 01/11/00) Dear Parent/Guardian, This letter is in response to your letter that I received on xx/xx/xxxx, in which you stated you disagreed with the (insert LEA’s name) assessment on xx/xx/xxxx of an initial evaluation of a Multidisciplinary Psycho-educational Evaluation on your child, Johnny Doe , date of birth: 01/11/00 . Please consider this, the LEA’s response to your request under 34 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) Sections 300.502 and California Education Code Section 56329(b). Under California Education Code Section 56329(c), the LEA will be exercising its right to a due process hearing pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 56500) to show that its assessment is appropriate. The LEA is refusing your request for an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) based on the fact that the LEA evaluation was comprehensive and appropriate. The assessment included all the components of a comprehensive evaluation required by state regulations, including information provided by the parent or primary caregiver (if the student is younger than 18 years of age). Information regarding Johnny’s current classroom performance (observations and assessments), and the observations of his/her teachers and other providers of instructional or educational services were also included. Johnny’s primary language, racial, and ethnic background were considered prior to selection and interpretation of evaluation procedures and measures. All assessment procedures measure a limited sample of a person’s total repertoire. The selected measures should only be interpreted within the limits of their measured validity. Summary of assessment(s) including results of the child’s progress in the general education curriculum and instructional implications were reviewed to ensure progress. Additionally, educational history was based on a review of Johnny’s records and parent information. Developmental information was provided through a social and developmental form that was completed by Parent/Guardian. Tests/inventories completed: 1. Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning – 2nd Edition, (WRAML-2) 2. Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement – 3rd Edition, (WJ-III) 3. Test of Auditory Processing Skills – 3rd Edition, (TAPS-III)
