Overview
Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) sit at the intersection of assessment, educational law, and school-based decision-making. Schools need qualified evaluators. Families need an independent perspective that translates assessment findings into educational relevance.
This training is designed to close the gap many clinical psychologists experience when moving into educational evaluations. It focuses on how the educational system works, how decisions are made, and how to operate the business side of school contracts with professionalism and clarity.
You will learn how educational frameworks differ from medical and clinical models, how to write reports that meet educational needs, and how to build a sustainable workflow for IEE referrals and district contracts.
Benefits of this training
After completing the course, you will be better prepared to:
-
Navigate special education processes with greater confidence and accuracy
-
Communicate findings using educationally relevant language and standards
-
Produce documentation that is clear, defensible, and useful for school teams
-
Understand how IEEs fit within IEP and Section 504 decision-making
-
Manage school contracts, payment terms, and referral workflows more effectively
