Our independent evaluations are exhaustive, multi-domain assessments designed to establish a clear, objective picture of a student’s strengths and weaknesses. To ensure the highest level of clinical accuracy, the evaluation considers the student's developmental, medical, educational, and social-emotional history, alongside their current educational placement.
Through a combination of clinical interviews with parents, consultations with appropriate school personnel, direct classroom observations (when applicable), and standardized testing, our clinicians conduct a deep-dive assessment of the student's functioning.
-
To meet the rigorous standards required by school districts and special education law, our assessments utilize gold-standard, psychometrically sound instruments to evaluate multiple domains of functioning:
Overall Intellectual & Cognitive Functioning
Academic Achievement (Reading, Writing, and Mathematics)
Neuropsychological & Neurocognitive Processing (Attention, Concentration, and Memory)
Executive Functioning (Planning, organization, working memory, and self-monitoring)
Language Processing
Visual-Motor Integration
Adaptive Functioning (Daily living and independence skills)
Social-Emotional & Behavioral Functioning (Including specialized diagnostics for Autism and ADHD)
-
Following the evaluation, Coast Psychology provides a comprehensive, legally defensible diagnostic report. This report includes evidence-based recommendations designed to guide the Committee on Special Education (CSE) in developing appropriate IEP goals, 504 accommodations, and program placements.
