Special Education Evaluation Timeline Tracker

Put the dates in once and keep the whole evaluation process in one place — request, consent, testing, eligibility and next steps. Nothing is uploaded. Everything stays in this browser.

Important: IDEA uses a federal 60-day evaluation baseline after parental consent unless your state has its own timeline. This tool lets you use 60 days or enter the rule you have verified for your state. It is a recordkeeping tool, not legal advice.

What this tracker is for

The hardest part of an evaluation is often not the testing itself. It is remembering which date started which clock, what the school said would happen next, and whether a follow-up is actually overdue. This page turns the process into a dated record instead of a memory test.

About the 60-day number

Under IDEA, an initial evaluation generally must be completed within 60 days after parental consent, unless a state establishes its own timeframe. That is why the tracker uses 60 days only as a federal baseline and makes the timeline editable.
