I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP).
What exactly does that mean?
It means I am a psychologist whose training and experience come from an educational perspective. My primary role is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of learners and provide recommendations so that they can find success in school and in life. I evaluate and coach students individually, I coach parents to work with their students and the school system, and we help parents find interventionists to support their learners, when needed.
An evaluation is only as good as the intervention that comes from it, and I firmly believe that often, it takes a village.
What Makes us Uniquely Qualified?
We continue to work in public education as school psychologists, specifically in Los Angeles county schools.
We have worked with every student population--preschool through post-secondary and with children who have mild to severe disabilities.
We have worked closely with every kind of educator and specialist including general and special education teachers, reading specialists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, behaviorists, and the like.
Because of this experience and collaboration, we provide a unique perspective for families, and our familiarity with California Public Education Code helps us provide appropriate, rational, manageable and effective interventions and strategies for parents and school teams in both the public and private sector.
We will help guide a family through the educational system in a collaborative way based on our knowledge of how general and special education systems work.
