Independent Educational
Evaluations
An Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is an assessment conducted by an independent, highly qualified professional when parents disagree with a school district’s evaluation. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) grants parents the right to request an IEE if they believe the school’s assessment is incomplete, inaccurate, or does not reflect their child’s needs.

Assessments

Evaluations
ADHD/Executive Functioning Evaluations
Through an ADHD evaluation, we’ll diagnose ADHD and related executive functioning issues to provide strategic recommendations for managing focus, task completion, and organizational skills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our incredible team is distributed throughout California and are available to meet with you and your child in-person or virtually to complete our educational assessment(s).
When your child is struggling and despite their effort, they are still struggling academically, a psychoeducational evaluation might be the answer. The psychoeducational evaluation answers the “WHY” to why your child is struggling. By taking a comprehensive dive into your child’s
cognitive abilities, academic achievement, and processing skills, we are able to understand and address all learning difficulties and specifically look at areas of concern like dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, to name a few. A psychoeducational evaluation helps pinpoint the exact areas your child struggles and gives you a roadmap towards intervention.
Does your child struggle academically, have difficulty focusing, show signs of learning challenges despite effort and support or exhibit social-emotional and behavioral issues, an educational assessment can provide the “WHY” behind these concerns and can help lay out a roadmap to intervention.
