As a parent, you may want to consider getting an external evaluation, like a psychological assessment, to better understand your child's strengths, needs or to confirm a diagnosis of a learning disability or other challenges. These evaluations offer a detailed look at how your child thinks, feels, and behaves, which can help create a more personalized and effective Individual Education Plan (IEP). If a formal diagnosis is made, an IPRC (Identification, Placement, and Review Committee/Circle) meeting will be needed to determine your child's best educational setting and any necessary support.
