It is important to note that according to the recent published rules, prioritization and funding amounts for students with a disability require an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) issued from a school district, not a private evaluation. Now is the time to encourage families of students with disabilities to receive a Full Individual Evaluation (FIE) from their local ISD.
