The Exceptional Learner

assessment

I offer comprehensive psychoeducational assessments for students either in person in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas or remotely anywhere in California. Whether conducted in person or virtually, I am able to provide a thorough and comprehensive assessment that identifies how a student learns and what they need within their environment to reach their potential.

Comprehensive Psychoeducational Assessment

I provide thorough, strength-based assessments that examine all areas of suspected disability. I avoid tunnel vision by looking carefully and holistically at every student I work with. For example, if a student is referred for a dyslexia assessment but I notice characteristics of ADHD, I will expand the evaluation to include that area as well. My diagnostic process is designed to understand cognitive abilities, academic skills, social-emotional functioning, and behavioral patterns. By investigating areas such as ADHD, Autism, and learning differences like dyslexia or dyscalculia, I create a detailed profile of each student’s learning style. Based on this unique profile, I develop tailored recommendations and strategies to support the student’s needs and help shape an environment where they can truly learn and flourish.

Twice Exceptional (2e) and Gifted Assessment

A twice-exceptional assessment involves identifying students who possess exceptional talents or abilities alongside learning or developmental challenges. My evaluations determine if a student is twice-exceptional and provide a thorough list of recommendations and strategies specifically tailored to their strengths and needs. I also offer gifted and IQ testing to gauge an individual’s cognitive abilities and intellectual potential through standardized assessments of reasoning and problem-solving.

Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE)

An Independent Educational Evaluation is conducted when parents seek an unbiased and comprehensive analysis of their child’s learning needs. This evaluation assesses academic performance, cognitive abilities, social-emotional development, and any specialized requirements. The goal is to offer an alternative perspective to support informed decision-making regarding educational planning and services.
