Rigorous, high-resolution Independent Educational Evaluations for students and families across Fremont Unified and the East Bay tech corridor.
Ensuring every child receives diagnostic clarity, objective testing, and legally compliant IEP placement.
In high-performing East Bay schools, academic compensation can mask severe executive dysfunction, dyslexia decoding struggles, and anxiety. Our multi-battery assessments isolate true learning potential from performance obstacles.
Direct experience conducting independent assessments across Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) and Mission San Jose SELPA and regional special education local plan areas (SELPAs).
When district testing falls short, our evaluations deliver unbiased clarity grounded in federal IDEA criteria and led by Donald Ghrist, LEP #2703.

Yes. We regularly conduct Independent Educational Evaluations for FUSD students, establishing independent contracts directly funded by the district.
We administer comprehensive phonological processing, rapid naming, decoding, and reading comprehension instruments adhering to the California Dyslexia Guidelines (including CTOPP-2, GORT-5, and WIAT-4).
Under federal law, the IEP team must consider an outside IEE. Our objective standardized testing frequently identifies previously unmeasured processing deficits that compel the district to establish an IEP under SLD, OHI, or Autism.
