A school district must provide a free evaluation to a child if the parents request that the child be screened for a learning disability or other special need. The law that makes the screenings possible is the Individuals with Disabil- ities Education Act. For more information, please visit the Public Benefits sec- tion of www.MontanaLawHelp.org.
