Private Evaluations/ I.E.E. Evaluations
Get clarity on learning differences, ADHD, Autism, and emotional concerns. Assessments include personalized recommendations and detailed reports that support school or workplace accommodations. This includes Independent Evaluations (IEE) funded by school districts in California.
Counseling & Coaching Services
For Teens and Young Adults
We all can face problems time to time-related to social relationships, making difficult decisions, and/or managing emotions. This is especially true for clients from diverse academic, social, or cultural backgrounds as well as neurodiverse clients. Counseling services are designed to help older children, teens and young adults (ages 13+) improve overall mental health. Coaching services are for clients with ADHD and Autism and focus on psychoeducation of diagnosis and strategies to help accept & manage symptoms and behaviors. Coaching services are available in all 50 states!
Parent Training & Support
Parent advocacy and consulting
Parenting support & training is geared towards arming parents with knowledge and tools to help support the academic needs, mental health, and wellness of the family- whether you need help understanding an IEP, navigating school systems, or figuring out what next steps are best. You are not alone in connecting the dots to your child's education.
Special Education Trainings
Trainings for parents, schools and organizations
I offer Special Education training for families, schools and organizations that are tailored to meet the needs of your school or district. As an experienced consultant, I am able to design trainings that cover topics such as special education laws, IEP and 504 plans, and best practices for supporting students with Autism and ADHD.
