School-Based Independent Evaluations

Expert consultation for public education speech services.

Robyn provides independent speech-language pathology evaluations for school-age children who are currently receiving or being considered for speech services through their public school district.

Independent evaluations are often sought by families who:

• Disagree with the school's evaluation results or proposed services
• Want a second opinion from a specialist in oral motor, OPT or myofunctional therapy
• Are seeking documentation for IEP modifications or eligibility determinations
• Have a child with a complex diagnosis requiring specialized assessment

Reports are comprehensive and include findings, recommendations and documentation suitable for IEP meetings and due process proceedings.
