Sample "Request for Evaluation" Letter

Today’s Date

Dear (Principal’s name),

I would like to request comprehensive educational testing for my child ________________ who is in _____ grade at __________________school.

I would like a full psychoeducational evaluation together with appropriate testing for learning disabilities. I request my child be tested in all suspected areas of disability, including the areas of auditory processing, executive function, OT, speech and language and a reading disability (in this area add any specific disability).

I understand I need to sign a consent form so the school can conduct the evaluation. If I do not hear from you in three days I will call to set up a time to sign the consent form.

After testing and at least 5 days prior to attending a meeting to discuss the testing results with a team, I request I have a chance to review the result and ask any questions I have with the evaluator.

I understand the school system has 60 days to complete testing and hold a meeting to discuss eligibility. I look forward to meeting with you on this date.

Sincerely,

Your signature, name and contact information
