Independent evaluations are critically important to understanding the educational needs of your child. Unfortunately, quality evaluations are expensive (between $1000 - $5000). In Massachusetts, parents can seek an independent evaluation at public expense under state or federal law. These laws are complicated, and failure to comply with their requirements will almost always leave parents footing the bill. Special education attorneys help families navigate these laws.
