An Outside Perspective You Can Trust
When you're navigating your child's IEP, it helps to have someone in your corner who isn't tied to the school system. Our independent evaluation gives you a clear, outside look at your child's adaptive behavioral needs, so you can advocate for the right support with confidence and clarity. Whether you're questioning a school's evaluation, requesting one for the first time, or preparing for an IEP meeting, we help you understand exactly what your child needs and how to ask for it.
Our Approach
An IEE is worth considering if you're a parent or caregiver who is:
Disagreeing with a school's evaluation results or recommendations
Requesting an evaluation for the first time to start the IEP process
Preparing for an IEP or 504 meeting and want data you understand and trust
Looking for a clear, outside perspective before making a decision about your child's services
Every evaluation starts with your child, not a template. We look closely at how your child actually learns, behaves, and communicates, not just how they perform on a single test.
We walk you through what we find in plain language, not jargon, and we stay in contact with your child's school team so the evaluation actually gets used, not just filed away. You're part of the process at every step.
What’s Included
Every part of this process happens in-home, out in the community, or remotely by video call, whatever fits your family best.
Records Review
We start by reviewing your child's existing evaluations, IEP, and school records, so we understand the full picture before we begin.
Direct Assessment
We assess your child directly, through observation, testing, and hands-on interaction, not just paperwork.
Written Report & Recommendations
You’ll receive a clear, detailed report with specific, actionable recommendations you can bring straight into an IEP meeting.
IEP Meeting Support
If you’d like, we can join your IEP meeting directly to help explain the findings and advocate for what your child needs.
