Special Education – Evaluation Process For Initial IEP

Because “just wait and see” isn’t a strategy.

When your child is struggling and the school doesn’t offer a clear next step, this printable guide hands you the plan.
Not theory. Not fluff. Just the real-world steps—from concern to eligibility—to start the special education process strong.

This parent-tested, expert-developed flowchart and coaching guide walks you through:

✅ What to do first when you suspect your child needs help
✅ How to formally request an evaluation—and what happens next
✅ What to say (and how to document it) to move things forward
✅ What to expect at each decision point, including timelines, forms, and your rights
✅ How to prepare for the Eligibility Meeting—before the IEP gets written
