About CLUE Evaluations

No two evaluations are the same - because no two learners are.

As a Licensed Educational Psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I provide comprehensive psychoeducational assessments, consultations, and support for complex learners with unique educational needs.

After years of experience in public schools, I've learned that each individual has a distinctive learning style that affects academic progress as well as social-emotional functioning. My goal is to help every individual reach their full potential, understand their own learning style, and feel emotionally confident through personalized, evidence-based recommendations.

What Families Are Saying

VC Educational Advocacy has had the opportunity to collaborate with Ember Waage on several difficult and complex cases, and I have greatly valued her expertise and insight. She brings a deep understanding and genuine compassion to working with complex learners, including students with intensive social-emotional and behavioral needs.

While Ember specializes in RTC, her knowledge extends well beyond that setting. She is skilled at looking beyond the behavior to understand the whole student and identify individualized supports that can lead to success.

Ember is professional, thoughtful, collaborative, and solutions-focused. Her experience and ability to support students with varying needs make her an invaluable resource. VC Educational Advocacy highly recommends Ember to anyone working with complex learners and would not hesitate to seek her input on challenging cases.
