Psychoeducational Evaluations

Every child learns and behaves differently, and sometimes the reasons behind their struggles aren’t obvious. A psychoeducational evaluation gives you the answers you need to better understand and support your child.

What Can a Psychoeducational Evaluation Assess For?

With the combined perspective of an Educational Psychologist and BCBA, I look at the full picture of learning, behavior, and emotions, including:

ADHD and attention challenges
Autism spectrum differences
Anxiety and emotional regulation
Learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia
Executive functioning skills like organization, planning, and focus

When Should You Request An IEE?
You have concerns that a school evaluation missed something important
You want a second opinion on ADHD, autism, anxiety, or learning disabilities
Your child isn’t getting the support or services they need at school

An IEE gives you peace of mind and ensures your child’s voice is heard in the school system.

Functional Behavior Assessments & Behavior Support Plans

Challenging behaviors often have deeper causes. A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) uncovers the “why” behind behaviors so we can design positive, practical strategies that make a difference.

IEP and 504 Plan Support

Navigating school meetings can feel overwhelming. Through IEP and 504 Plan support, I’ll review your child’s evaluations and help you prepare for meetings.

You’ll feel more confident walking into meetings and better equipped to ensure your child gets the support they need at school.
