When is the IEP reviewed, and what if there is a new evaluation?

Special education · Process and next steps

IDEA requires periodic IEP review, at least annually, to assess goal achievement and needed changes. A new evaluation, lack of progress, or family information may require additional review.

Provide the report, obtain acknowledgement, and identify recommendations for discussion. Compare the team's decision with the updated IEP: discussion does not mean recommendations have been incorporated.

Orders in the Rosa Lydia Vélez class action and DEPR provisions about IEP preparation and placement offers may also matter. Application requires checking the relevant order and calendar. A generic date cannot substitute for review. Preserve requests, invitations, minutes, and IEP versions.

The answer for your situation depends on the facts and records. An inquiry does not suspend legal deadlines or guarantee that the office will accept the case.
