Frequently Asked Questions in Cupertino

How do you evaluate twice-exceptional (2e) students in Cupertino?

Twice-exceptional students often possess gifted intellect alongside hidden dyslexia, ADHD, or processing deficits. Our multi-battery testing disaggregates cognitive strengths from performance bottlenecks to secure appropriate IEP or 504 accommodations.

Can IEE recommendations mandate 504 or IEP accommodations at Monta Vista or Cupertino High?

While the IEP team formally votes on placement, school districts must legally consider independent evaluations under IDEA 34 C.F.R. § 300.502. Our reports provide objective data that districts routinely implement.

Who conducts the psychoeducational evaluation in Cupertino?

All evaluations are led and signed by Donald Ghrist, Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP #2703), bringing over 25 years of California special education assessment expertise.
