What’s inside

  • The score decoder: standard scores, scaled scores, T-scores, and percentile ranks taught as one idea - distance from average - plus the cross-ruler conversion table and the seven classification bands with how many children land in each
  • The tests by name: WISC-V, WIAT-4, Woodcock-Johnson, CELF-5, CTOPP-2, BASC-3, Vineland-3, and more - each mapped to the one question it answers
  • 5 fill-in worksheets, from the first-hour report inventory to the one-page meeting plan
  • 7 checklists, including “Was the evaluation complete?” built from the federal assessment areas
  • 2 ready-to-adapt letters: the calm questions email and the independent-evaluation (IEE) request
  • The eligibility decision decoded: the two-question test, the 13 category names, what cannot be the deciding factor, and the three roads after the meeting
  • Every legal claim carries its citation - IDEA and 34 CFR, right where you read it - verified August 2026; timelines vary by state, and the guide says so where they do

About this guide

The evaluation report landed - thirty-odd pages of standard scores, percentiles, and unfamiliar terms, with an eligibility meeting already on the calendar. This 62-page, plain-English guide teaches you to read the report itself: which three sentences carry the most weight, what every score family means, what each named test measures, the rules the evaluation had to follow, and how the eligibility decision is actually made - with you in the deciding group.

Your real alternative is an educational advocate at $100-$300 an hour. This guide exists so the first several of those hours are ones you no longer need to buy.

Before you buy

When do I get it?

The download link appears the moment checkout completes, and the same link is emailed to you, so you have a copy either way.

What do I need to open it?

One PDF, 62 pages, 5 worksheets, 7 checklists. Any free PDF reader opens it on a phone, tablet, or computer, and it is laid out for standard US Letter paper if you would rather print it.

Are the letters and worksheets fillable?

The letter templates use bracketed fields you replace with your own details, and the worksheets are built to be printed and filled in by hand. If you would rather stay on screen, most PDF apps, including the free readers, let you type anywhere on a page with their comment or fill and sign tools.

Will this work in my state?

Federal law is the backbone of every guide, and it applies in every state. Where states are allowed to differ, the guide says so plainly, and a state number appears only when it has been verified against that state's own rules, with the citation printed beside it. Every guide is date-stamped with its version and review date, so you can see how current it is.

What if it is not what I needed?

Every guide is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Email [email protected] within 30 days of buying and you get a full refund. The full guarantee explains how it works.
