What is an Educational Evaluation?
We believe that all have the capacity to learn, to achieve, to excel.
When someone begins to have difficulty in school, college, or in the workplace, there is usually a reason. Rich Educational Consulting's diagnostic team of specialists can not only help you find the cause, we can design interventions to help support your success. Whether it be for school accommodations or program placement, our evaluations are designed with you in mind. We don’t use just one battery. We look at your concerns, presenting problem, and what you need, and we create an assessment around that. Our reports are more than scores. They are designed to present a whole picture of the learner and our feedback session ensures that you thoroughly understand the results. We use the most up to date methods for qualifying students according to Federal, State, and school district guidelines, including an analysis of strengths and weaknesses and Cross Battery assessment

If you, as a parent of a child with a disability, do not agree with the results of the individualized evaluation of your child, as conducted by the school system, you have the right to obtain what is known as an Independent Educational Evaluation, or an IEE (§300.502). This means that you may ask that a professional, competent evaluator who is not employed by the school system conduct another evaluation of your child. Our evaluation team regularly conduct Independent Education Evaluations (IEE).
All IEE requests must be formally approved by the school district prior to being scheduled by the parent or parent risks being liable for fees. Most districts now require parents to pay the provider for the IEE and then seek reimbursement from the district.
