School districts often face the challenge of overwhelming caseloads which become more demanding with unexpected leaves of absence, unfilled positions, or simply an overflow of assessments can leave a district buried and out of compliance. Our independent evaluation services are designed to be a seamless extension of your district’s team. We provide thorough, evidence-based psychoeducational assessments that adhere to state and federal guidelines, helping your team move from assessment to action with confidence.
