Navigating the IEP process can feel overwhelming, particularly for those new to the realm of special education. The key understanding is that you, as a parent, play the most pivotal role within the IEP team. I am dedicated to guiding you through each phase of the process and ensuring you are informed about your parental rights. It is crucial that your school team adheres to legal protocols while providing the necessary support for your child. Together, we will carefully review your child’s IEP, assessment reports, and other pertinent school documents to ensure your child's needs are effectively addressed, and equip you with the knowledge to advocate confidently on their behalf.

I specialize in conducting thorough psychoeducational assessments to determine your child’s learning profile, covering cognitive abilities, academic strengths and challenges, and social, emotional, and behavioral functioning. These assessments explore a range of issues including intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, dyslexia, ADHD, Autism, and emotional disturbances. Additionally, I offer targeted snapshot assessments to provide detailed insights into specific challenges that may impact your child's educational journey. Depending on your goals, I can provide clinical diagnoses or establish eligibility criteria for special education services.

We can develop treatment plans by setting overarching goals for your child and breaking them down into manageable steps. These plans will encompass enhancing your child's educational, emotional, and physical well-being, recognizing their interconnectedness. Regular check-ins and consultations will be integral to supporting your child in achieving these goals effectively.

Counseling services support your child in learning, practicing, and applying self-regulation strategies and other treatment objectives directly within the school environment. Whether focusing on social skills, managing impulsivity, anger, or other mental health needs, counseling goals are customized to address your child's unique requirements.
