ESE Parent Survey

Each year, the Florida Department of Education invites parents of students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to complete a survey. This survey helps evaluate how effectively schools are partnering with families and support meaningful parent involvement in their child’s education.

We encourage all parents, guardians, and adult age students to participate and share their feedback. The ESE Parent Survey is available in 10 languages and can be completed electronically or in paper format, based on your preference.

The survey is open to all parents and/or guardians of students receiving Exceptional Student Education (ESE) services from preschool through grade 12, as well as students with disabilities who are 18 years of age or older. It is not intended for parents of students receiving only gifted services through an educational plan. The survey features straight forward questions and takes two to five minutes to complete.

Your feedback is important in helping the state and local school systems continue improving educational programs for children with special needs. Thank you!
