Get the Additional IEP Testing Request Template!

An IEP re-evaluation is a fresh round of testing to check whether your child still qualifies for services and whether their current IEP still fits their needs. It can also look at new areas of concern, including adding or changing related services. Our template helps you request one in writing, the right way.

By law, a full IEP re-evaluation generally happens at least every three years, often called the triennial re-evaluation. But you don't have to wait three years and sometimes teams will say your child doesn’t need updated testing. If your child's needs change or you want complete testing, you can request it without the wait. Our guide shows you how.

You send a written request to your child's school asking for additional or updated evaluations and explaining your concerns. Putting it in writing creates a record and starts the process. Our template gives you the exact wording to use so you don't miss anything.

Yes. Having an IEP doesn't mean the testing is finished. If you believe your child needs evaluation in a new area, like speech, occupational therapy, or behavior, you can request it. Our template makes that request clear and easy.

New services usually start with new testing or data showing the need. You can request additional evaluations to support adding a service, then ask the team to update the IEP. Our guide walks you through how to request the testing that supports your case.

A triennial evaluation is the full re-evaluation that happens at least once every three years to review your child's eligibility and needs. It's a natural time to make sure your child is being tested in all the right areas, but sometimes schools opt out of testing or say it isn’t needed. Our template can help you request a comprehensive special education testing in all the right areas.

This template is for children who already have an IEP and need additional or updated testing. If your child has never been evaluated, you'll want to start with an initial request instead. Our How to Request Testing workshop is built for that first step.

The Additional IEP Testing Request Template is a $19.95 digital download. You get an advocate-approved fillable letter, directions on how to ask for new or updated IEP testing, examples of what to ask for and how to get the right testing, and instructions on how to attach it to your child's record. To understand the reports that come back, our Understanding Reports workshop can help.
