we will photocopy them and return them to you.
The child's medical records
The child's Individualized Education Program
YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK DOCTORS OR HOSPITALS FOR ANY MEDICAL RECORDS
THAT YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE. With your permission, we will do that for you. The
information we ask for on this form tells us from whom to request medical and other records. If
you cannot remember the names and addresses of any of the doctors or hospitals, or the dates of
treatment, perhaps you can get this information from the telephone book, or from medical bills,
prescriptions and medicine containers.
