Psychoeducational Evaluations & IEEs

Comprehensive psychoeducational assessments and Independent Educational Evaluations for K-12, post-secondary, and adult learners.

K-12 & Post-Secondary

No two brains are alike

After years of experience in this field, one thing is certain: no two brains are alike, and each individual learns differently. You may be at a point where you simply can't understand what is going on with your child or how to help them. Maybe they've struggled with academics for a while, or maybe it's new and you're not sure why they're struggling.

Social-emotional and behavioral factors influence learning as well, and you may have noticed these areas affecting your child's mood, academic progress, or conduct in school and at home. A psychoeducational evaluation will examine all of the areas your child may be having difficulty with and give you clarity and guidance on how to support your child in feeling successful.

Psychoeducational assessment can reveal the way your child learns and offer recommendations on how to manage academic, social-emotional, and behavioral areas that seem to be a bit more challenging.

When appropriate and if criterion are met, we also provide a DSM-5-TR diagnosis with recommendations for home, school, and community to support the need for additional or continued support for your child's educational progress.

Independent Educational Evaluations

What is an IEE?

If your child was assessed by their school district and you disagree with the results or conclusions of that assessment, you have the right to request an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) - an evaluation conducted by a qualified examiner who is not employed by your school district.

This means ANY assessment conducted by your school district/home school, can be subject to request for an IEE, including Residential Treatment Center evaluations. In California, as part of the procedural safeguards notice given to parents to explain their rights in writing under IDEA and state law, you have 2 years from the time the assessment was completed to request an IEE. If your child is not found eligible for special education, you can still ask for an IEE.

As a Licensed Educational Psychologist with years of experience inside public schools, I conduct thorough, objective IEE's that examine cognitive, academic, and social-emotional functioning. I work to present my findings with common sense language that both families and IEP teams can understand and act on.
