A psychoeducational evaluation is a comprehensive assessment that looks at how a student learns, processes information, and manages academic demands.

It typically includes measures of cognitive ability, academic skills, and—when appropriate—attention, executive functioning, or social-emotional factors. The goal is not just to generate scores, but to understand how and why a student is struggling and what support will be most helpful.

Families often seek evaluation when they notice:

• Ongoing difficulties with reading, writing, or math
  

• Trouble focusing, organizing, or keeping up in class
  

• Emotional distress or avoidance around schoolwork
  

• Low confidence or frustration despite extra support
  

• A feeling that “something isn’t adding up,” even after tutoring or interventions

Each evaluation is tailored to the student, but may include:

• Cognitive testing (how a student processes information)
  

• Academic achievement testing
  

• Review of educational history and prior interventions
  

• Observations and input from parents, teachers, and the student (when appropriate)
  

• Screeners or rating scales related to attention, behavior, or executive functioning
  

• A detailed written report with interpretation and recommendations
  

• A feedback session to walk through results and next steps

My goal is always to provide clarity—not just data.

With appropriate evaluation and documentation, students may gain access to:

• Specialized instruction or academic intervention
  

• Classroom accommodations (such as extended time, modified assignments, or testing supports)
  

• Related services like reading intervention, speech therapy, or occupational therapy
  

• Eligibility for special education (IEP) or a 504 plan
  

• College Board–approved accommodations for standardized testing
  

• Support that follows them as academic demands increase
  

This process isn’t about labels—it’s about equity and access.

Many families choose to share private evaluations with their school to explore eligibility for special education or 504 services. While schools make final eligibility decisions, a comprehensive, clearly written evaluation can be an important part of that process.

I also support families in understanding how to use evaluation results during school meetings and next steps.

Yes. Virtual evaluations are available nationwide and can be a good fit for many students. Whether an evaluation is conducted in-person or virtually is determined during the initial consultation based on the student’s needs.

Timelines vary depending on the scope of the evaluation and scheduling availability. During your consultation, I’ll walk you through what to expect and provide a realistic timeline.

I have a strong track record of meeting required timelines and communicating clearly throughout the process.

Because every student’s needs are different, pricing varies by scope and service. Quotes and estimates are free and provided after an initial consultation.

I do not accept insurance at this time.

Yes. A booking deposit is required, and families may choose to pay in full or use a payment plan.

The consultation is a short call (30 minutes or less) designed to:

• Understand your concerns
  

• Review relevant background information
  

• Determine what type of support or evaluation may be appropriate
  

• Provide an estimate and next steps
  

There’s no pressure to book services during this call.
