ARequest for Initial Evaluation
Dear Dr. Johnson,

I am writing to formally request an initial evaluation of my child, Emma Rodriguez, a 5th grade student at Lincoln Elementary School, for special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 20 U.S.C. § 1414(a)(1)(B).

I am concerned about Emma's progress in the following areas:
• Reading comprehension — Emma is reading at a 3rd grade level according to her most recent classroom assessment
• Written expression — Emma struggles to organize her thoughts in writing and requires significantly more time than peers

Under IDEA, the school district is required to complete the evaluation within the timeline established by your state (commonly 60 days) of receiving parental consent. I understand that I will need to provide written consent before the evaluation can begin, and I am prepared to do so promptly.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss next steps.

Sincerely,
Maria Rodriguez
