Partnering with Schools

We provide contracted Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) that are thorough, timely, and aligned with district timelines and requirements.
Our reports are clear, data-driven, and written with both parents and teams in mind — making them easy to present at IEP meetings and useful for guiding services.

Districts trust us for our professionalism, flexibility, and deep understanding of special education law and best practices.
To inquire about contracting with us for evaluations, please reach out directly or schedule a meeting.
