IEEs by a School Psychologist Who Speaks School
Most IEE providers are private practitioners or neuropsychologists who work outside the school system. Kristen works inside it. She has been evaluating children in all types of schools for 20 years. She understands IDEA eligibility criteria, the IEP process, and Special Education law. Her understanding of what schools and families need from a report is unmatched. She stays involved through the Team meeting to make sure her findings and recommendations are understood and actionable.
School-System Expertise
Direct understanding of IDEA eligibility criteria, IEP development, and school-based intervention frameworks. Every evaluation includes a classroom observation and teacher interview — because context matters.
Shorter Wait Times
Testing scheduled within 2–3 weeks of intake, not months. A faster turnaround from records receipt to final report, so families and districts aren’t left waiting.
Transparent Pricing
Published fee schedule with flat-rate pricing. No surprise costs. Districts can budget with confidence and families know exactly what to expect from the start.
Reports That Get Used
Reports written about the student, not the numbers. Plain language that highlights strengths, specific recommendations tied directly to findings, and summaries that support understanding for families and teams.
