Reevaluation
For all students (including those with intellectual disability), reevaluation begins with a review of existing data by the IEP team, including the parent and a school psychologist when reevaluating for autism, emotional disturbance, intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, other health impairment, specific learning disability, or traumatic brain injury.
This review does not require permission from the parent, nor is a meeting required. However, the parent must be included in the review. The data review is documented in the section titled SUMMARIZE INFORMATION REVIEWED of the RR.
Next, the IEP team determines whether there is a need for additional data. If the IEP team determines that no additional data are needed:
After the additional data are collected and analyzed, the findings and interpretation of the additional data are written into the RR. Conclusions regarding eligibility are made.

Next, the IEP team determines whether there is a need for additional data. If the IEP team determines that no additional data are needed:
- The appropriate box on the RR is checked and the reason(s) written on the RR. Findings (based upon existing data) are summarized and conclusions regarding eligibility are made.
- A copy of the RR is given to the parent and the RR becomes part of the student’s educational record. If additional data are not needed, the Permission to Reevaluate-Consent Form is not needed, and therefore is not part of the student’s educational record. Reevaluation Process for Students with Disabilities
- The student’s IEP must be reviewed and revised within 30 calendar days of the completion of the RR.
- Reevaluation is not required for another 2 years for students with intellectual disability and for 3 years for all other students with disabilities. If the IEP team determines that additional data are needed:
- The appropriate box on the RR is checked.
- The Permission to Reevaluate-Consent Form is provided to the parent. The LEA must indicate the reason for the reevaluation and the specific types of assessment tools, tests, and procedures that will be used. The Permission to Reevaluate-Consent Form is part of the student’s educational record.
- The reevaluation still must be completed and presented to the parents within 60 calendar days (not including summer days) of parental consent and by the anniversary date of the previous Evaluation/ Reevaluation Report. •
After the additional data are collected and analyzed, the findings and interpretation of the additional data are written into the RR. Conclusions regarding eligibility are made.
