OPINION
THOMAS, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal we consider, among other matters, whether a school district’s failure to provide educational testing data to parents violated the procedural requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 20 U.S.C. §§ 1400-1487 (“IDEA” or “Act”). We conclude that it did. We also conclude that the failure to provide the data prevented the parents from meaningfully participating in the creation of his individualized education program (“IEP”), thereby denying their son a free appropriate public education (“FAPE”) under the IDEA.
