At Guiding Light Educational Psychology, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive assessments and individualized support tailored to your child’s needs, including counseling services and independent educational evaluation (IEE) support. We provide IEE services for the Bakersfield, California area and other parts of California. Explore our services to learn how our services can assist you.
Do I have Autism? Does my child have ADHD? Why is my child having such a difficult time learning to read? These are the questions best addressed through a comprehensive private evaluation. We tailor your assessment to address your concerns and work diligently to get the answers in your hands quickly to help you make decisions for further treatment.
When districts and parents disagree over an assessment, we can provide a neutral, third-party perspective to help the IEP team determine eligibility, whether the child needs related services, and/or if the current educational placement is the most appropriate placement to meet the child's needs. If you are working with an special education advocate, such as HEARTS Connection, tell your advocate you'd like to request an IEE completed by Guiding Light Educational Psychology.

This one-hour consultation focuses on reviewing IEP or 504 Plan documents and evaluations, and providing families with valuable information and guidance (including insights on educational needs, potential services to request, therapies/strategies to try).
