Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE)

J&S Pediatric Therapy, Inc. specializes in providing comprehensive Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) for families seeking an accurate and unbiased assessment of their child’s present levels, needs, and recommendations. Our team of physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), speech-language pathologists (STs), and psychologists work collaboratively to ensure each child’s unique learning profile is understood and supported.

An Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is an evaluation conducted by a qualified professional who is not employed by the school district. Families often seek an IEE if they disagree with a school’s evaluation results or want a second opinion regarding their child’s academic, behavioral, or developmental challenges.

At J&S Pediatric Therapy, Inc., our team includes licensed PTs, OTs, STs, and psychologists who provide a comprehensive and impartial evaluation of your child’s abilities. Our goal is to offer an unbiased perspective on their present levels and needs, along with tailored recommendations to support their success at home, in school, and in other environments.

• Multidisciplinary Expertise: Our evaluations are conducted by experienced physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and psychologists. This range of expertise ensures that your child’s evaluation is thorough, covering all critical areas of development.
• Unbiased and Professional: Our team is committed to providing an impartial evaluation, free from any influence by the school district. This ensures that you receive an objective understanding of your child’s needs and the best path forward.
• Comprehensive Reports and Recommendations: We create detailed reports with actionable recommendations that can help guide your child's support team, both at home and in school.
• Collaboration with Families and Schools: We work closely with families to ensure the evaluation process is supportive and informative. Additionally, we collaborate with schools to help integrate our recommendations into your child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP).

1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a consultation to discuss your concerns, your child’s history, and any previous evaluations. This allows us to tailor our approach to meet your child’s specific needs.
2. Comprehensive Evaluation: Our multidisciplinary team will conduct a series of assessments, observations, and interviews, focusing on your child’s communication, motor skills, cognitive functioning, and sensory processing, among other areas. Each evaluation is personalized, drawing on the expertise of our PTs, OTs, STs, and psychologists.
3. Unbiased Findings: Our evaluations result in a detailed report that provides a clear and unbiased view of your child’s present levels of functioning. We offer specific, evidence-based recommendations for interventions and support strategies.
4. Collaborative Advocacy: We support families in sharing IEE results with the school and advocating for appropriate services and accommodations. Our team is available to participate in IEP meetings to ensure that the recommendations are clearly understood and implemented.
