Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP)?

A Licensed Educational Psychologist is a professional who specializes in understanding how children learn and develop. LEPs conduct assessments to identify learning differences, strengths, and areas for growth, helping families navigate the educational system.

What types of assessments do you offer?

I provide comprehensive psychoeducational assessments and IQ assessments. Each assessment is tailored to your child's unique needs and helps identify their strengths and challenges.

How long does the assessment process take?

The assessment process typically begins with a 30-minute free consultation to discuss your concerns. After that, the actual assessment timeframe varies, depending on the type of evaluation. I’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

What can I expect from the assessment report?

You will receive a detailed report outlining your child’s strengths, areas for improvement, and specific recommendations for support. This report serves as a valuable tool for advocating for your child’s needs in the school setting.

Can you help with IEPs?

Absolutely! I offer consultation services to help you understand and navigate the IEP process. We’ll review any existing IEPs and discuss strategies for effective advocacy to ensure your child receives the support they need.

Do you accept insurance?

Unfortunately, private educational assessments and coaching services are typically not covered by insurance. Therefore, we do not file insurance, but we can provide you with a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

If you suspect your child is facing learning challenges, don’t hesitate to reach out. A consultation can help clarify your concerns and determine the best course of action for your child’s needs.

Who can benefit from your services?

My services are designed for children of all ages who are facing learning challenges, need support with executive functioning skills, or require assessments to understand their unique learning profiles.

How do I prepare for the assessment?

Once you schedule an assessment, I’ll provide you with information on how to prepare. Generally, it’s helpful to gather any relevant school records and information about your child’s learning history.

How does Executive Function Coaching work?

My Executive Function Coaching program lasts 8-10 weeks and focuses on helping your child develop essential skills like organization, time management, and focus. Together, we’ll set personalized goals and implement strategies tailored to their needs.

What geographic areas do you serve?
