A comprehensive Psychoeducational Evaluation can uncover the root of your child’s academic, attention, emotional, or behavioral challenges.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the IEP or 504 process, you’re not alone. These meetings can be complex, and it’s not always easy to understand your rights or your child’s.
From advocating for new services to reviewing a proposed plan, I’ll help you make informed decisions that support your child’s success.
These one-on-one sessions are designed to give you ongoing guidance as you process your child’s diagnosis, implement strategies at home, and communicate effectively with educators and specialists.
When behavior becomes a barrier to learning, it’s important to understand the why behind it.
My behavior-focused services are grounded in empathy and a deep understanding of school systems. I work with families to assess needs and collaborate with schools to develop plans that are individualized, realistic and evidence-based.
Whether you're facing a growing assessment backlog, a staff leave, or an independent educational evaluation (IEE) request, I provide experienced, professional support that helps your team stay on track.
I bring both school-based and private practice experience to each collaboration, ensuring services are responsive, compliant, and student-centered.
Let’s work together to provide timely, high-quality evaluations and support to the students who need it.
You deserve clear answers and personalized recommendations tailored to your child’s unique strengths and needs, so you can provide what they need to succeed.

A Psychoeducational Evaluation includes 2 to 3 days of direct testing with your child, interviews with key adults in their life, background history, and behavior rating scales to better understand their needs. You’ll receive a thorough written report with test results, diagnostic impressions (if applicable), practical recommendations for school and home, resources for ongoing support, and a clear understanding of what steps to take next.
Costs can vary for Psychoeducational Evaluations based on the scope/depth needed for the evaluation. I always provide a clear explanation of the costs before we begin so you can feel confident moving forward. Please reach out through the contact form for a quote.
Common signs of dyslexia include trouble sounding out simple words, reading slowly and with great effort, confusing letters like b and d, and struggling to remember letter sounds. You might also notice poor spelling, difficulty following multi-step directions, or anxiety about reading aloud. If several of these sound familiar, an evaluation can help provide clarity and next steps.
Yes, dysgraphia is one of multiple learning disabilities that can be diagnosed through a Psychoeducational Evaluation. A diagnosis can open the door for your child to receive the support and accommodations they need at school.
An autism evaluation involves a detailed look at your child’s communication, social interaction, behavior, and developmental history. I use interviews, observations, behavior rating scales, and standardized tools to understand your child’s strengths and challenges. You can expect a calm, supportive environment where your child is encouraged to be themselves. After the evaluation, we’ll go over the results together and discuss practical next steps, whether or not a diagnosis is made.
A functional behavioral assessment (FBA) helps identify why a child is engaging in certain behaviors, especially those that are challenging or disruptive. I gather information through interviews, observations, and behavior rating forms to understand what happens before, during, and after the behavior. The goal is to figure out the purpose the behavior serves for the child and to create strategies that support more positive and effective ways of meeting their needs.
A behavior support plan is a personalized plan designed to reduce challenging behaviors and teach positive skills in their place. It’s based on the results of a functional behavioral assessment and outlines specific strategies, supports, and environmental changes to help your child succeed at home, at school, and in daily routines. The goal is to understand what your child is communicating through their behavior and to respond with practical, compassionate support.
