This page presents a model letter or email you might write the school to ask that your child be evaluated to see if he or she has a disability. Send a dated, written request for a special education evaluation to your child's teacher and the school principal.As a parent, guardian or advocate, you have a legal right to request that your public school evaluate your child for special education. This process of finding out which students need special education is called child find. In Minnesota, child find begins at birth. 2. In order to understand what changes may be needed in my child's special education program or services, I am requesting that. Receive a complete re- evaluation. I know that my staff has discussed the results of this review with your staff. The school can deny your request only if there's no sign of a disability. I would like to request comprehensive educational testing for my child.
