Reevaluation
A reevaluation is a new evaluation for a child with a disability. It happens at least every three years unless the parent and school agree it is not needed, and a parent or teacher can request one.
Federal rules say reevaluations usually happen no more than once a year unless the parent and school agree otherwise. The school asks for parental consent before a reevaluation.
Also called: reevaluation, re-evaluation, triennial, three-year evaluation, re-eval
