What if a parent refuses consent for reevaluation?
If the team determines that specific evaluation is necessary to continue eligibility or to determine appropriate special education and related services for the child’s IEP, and the parent refuses consent for this evaluation or refuses to make the child available, the district must document to the parent that the district stands ready to conduct the evaluation when the parent gives consent or makes the child available. If the district does not have sufficient evaluation information to determine eligibility or to develop an appropriate IEP, the district is not required to complete these activities. The district must give prior written notice if the district terminates eligibility or services under these circumstances.
