ABOUT ME

I have been practicing as a school psychologist in the Bay Area for more than 20 years.  My experience working in the school system puts me in the best position to provide an evaluation that will help identify your child's strengths, weaknesses, and learning needs.  Furthermore, the assessment results will help you determine whether your child is a candidate for additional support at school, such as classroom accommodations and specialized instruction.  As a father of two children attending public school, I am fully aware of the challenges (both academic and social) that students face today.  My 

goal is to give you a competitively-priced, solution-focused evaluation that will help you understand how your child learns, what you can do to best support your child at school and at home, and how you can navigate the two disability laws impacting public school education – the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (a.k.a. special education), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  All children are on an educational journey that will hopefully lead to a productive and happy adulthood.  Some of them just need a little extra help along the way.  A psycho-educational evaluation can be a valuable tool for you to help your child towards the path to success.
