I have just added seven sample letters that are examples of how to request different actions from your child’s school district with regard to special education.  They range from requesting the initial evaluation for special education services, to requesting a Functional Behavior Assessment for students whose behavior is interfering with their learning.  I also have a page “Sample Letter Narratives” that gives you an outline of why the letter is important and what to expect when you send it.

I am providing these examples free of charge because I’ve found that letter-writing seems to be one of the most difficult tasks for parents who are attempting to obtain services for their child, or to request actions that they know are necessary and appropriate for their sped child.

Please feel free to use them and if they are helpful to you, and you feel so inclined, feel free to make a donation of any amount on the Pricing/Paypal Options page.  I will use these donations to help fund my sped mini-books which will be coming soon!

Remember, you know your child best and do not ever discount your instincts in this all-important area!
