Exceptional Students. Empowered Families. Meaningful Academic Progress.

As a parent, you are your child’s primary educator and caregiver. You know your child’s strengths, challenges, interests, capabilities, and expectations. When your child has special educational needs, however, you can be thrust into the role of advocate, often without any preparation. It can be overwhelming to sift through evaluation reports full of clinical jargon and statistical tables; research curricula, programs, or teaching strategies that can help your child; educate yourself about special education processes and procedures; determine what types of accommodations or curriculum modifications your child needs; or analyze various educational placements and programs to determine what best fits your child and your family. You may sit in meeting after meeting surrounded by professionals, feeling unsure if their recommendations are suited for your child’s unique needs but unsure what other options there are. You may have questions that go unanswered or concerns that go unaddressed. You may be wondering if a different type of educational setting might better suit your family but feel unsure where to start looking into alternative options.

We started Neurodevelopmental Education Solutions to provide educational consultation services to support families and students with special educational needs. Our consultants have many years of experience working with families, working in or consulting with schools, and evaluating student needs in order to develop individualized educational programming recommendations. Our goal is for parents, families, and students with special educational needs themselves to thoroughly understand their strengths and needs in the educational setting and empower them to make educational decisions and plans that fit with their goals, values, and abilities. We believe that all children should receive a high-quality education that allows them to make meaningful academic progress and to lead satisfying and fulfilling lives.

In alignment with this mission, Neurodevelopmental Education Solutions offers the following education consultation services/packages (please note: as psychologists, we specialize in providing the following services for students who primarily have learning differences or disabilities, developmental delays/intellectual disabilities, cognitive differences, or attention/executive function difficulties. We do not have expertise in sensory, physical, or motor disabilities and would refer you to the appropriate professional to consult with on those issues):

  • IEP/Evaluation Review: One of our consultants will review your student’s most recent evaluation and IEP. This review is followed by a 45-minute appointment (in-person or virtual) to discuss recommendations. You will also receive a written consultation summary. Cost: $250
  • Curriculum/Program Evaluation: Our consultants can research specific curriculum that are currently being used or considered for your student to help determine whether it meets the child’s needs and educational goals. Additionally, our consultants can provide recommendations about how to modify curricula to meet your child’s needs. Cost: $150/hour
  • In-person or virtual educational consultation services: As licensed and certified school psychologists specializing in special educational needs, our consultants are happy to provide a range of individualized and customized consultation. Cost: $150/hour. Consultation topics may include, but are not limited to, the following examples:
    • Assistance with evaluating possible educational environments (e.g., public school, private or religious school, specialized private school, homeschool) and the services and supports available in each
    • Developing strategies for inclusion, while also addressing the student’s unique needs
    • Evaluating the effectiveness of specific supports or accommodations
    • Setting up a plan for accommodations and modifications for homeschooling families
    • Determining whether additional evaluations or support services are needed
    • Making recommendations regarding transitions in educational settings, such as moving from early intervention to school-age services, moving from elementary to middle or middle to high school, and moving to college/postsecondary education or the workforce
  • Letter of Approval for Homeschool Program for Child with Special Educational Needs: As licensed and certified school psychologists, our consultants are able to review homeschool education program plans to determine whether the planned program meets the student’s specific educational support needs. If approved, we can provide a letter of approval that can be submitted to the school district. Cost: $50 (requires prior IEP/Evaluation Review; this requirement is waived for students who have had an evaluation through Neurodevelopmental Assessment & Consulting, LLC in the past 12 months)
  • End-of-Year Homeschool Program Evaluation: Our consultants can provide end-of-year homeschool evaluations, specializing in evaluations of students with special educational needs. Our evaluations include a 45-minute appointment with the student and parent (in-person or virtual), review of work portfolio and reading materials log, review of standardized testing results (grades 3, 5, and 8; we can conduct this testing, if needed, for an additional fee), and verification of 180 days (900 hours) of instruction. You will receive a letter that can be provided to your local school district. Cost: $150

All educational consultation services can be provided in-person at our office in Feasterville (Bucks County), PA or virtually in any PSYPACT participating state. Because these services are educational in nature, they are not billable to insurance and cannot be submitted for out-of-network reimbursement.

The purpose of education is to give to the body and to the soul all the beauty and all the perfection of which they are capable.
