Frequently Asked Questions in Sunnyvale

What assessment programs and services do you provide in Sunnyvale?

We provide complete Independent Educational Evaluations across all domains including psychoeducational testing, ADHD and executive functioning, dyslexia evaluations, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and adapted PE.

Do you contract directly with Sunnyvale School District and FUHSD?

Yes. When parents request an IEE at public expense, we establish direct vendor contracts with Sunnyvale School District, Fremont Union High School District, and regional Santa Clara SELPAs.

How does an independent evaluation help if the school assessment missed ADHD?

Our Licensed Educational Psychologists use comprehensive cognitive and executive function batteries (such as the BRIEF-2 and Conners-4) to uncover attention deficits that standardized school tests frequently overlook.
