When a school’s evaluation doesn’t tell the full story, families across Northern Virginia, Fairfax, Loudoun, and the DMV area are often left with more questions than answers.
Join MindWell Psychology for “Public Education’s Best Kept Secret,” a live virtual session designed to help parents and caregivers better understand their child’s learning profile, learning differences, and the options available to them.
Led by dyslexia advocates and a licensed clinical psychologist, this session will cover:
✅ The difference between school based and private psychological evaluations
✅ Why families may request an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) for children with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, learning differences, or other educational challenges
✅ The benefits of private neuropsychological and educational evaluations
✅ How to formally request an IEE through your school district in Virginia
✅ How to effectively use evaluation results in IEP meetings to better support your child
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your rights, your options, and how to advocate with confidence for children with learning differences, attention challenges, autism spectrum traits, emotional regulation needs, or other neurodevelopmental concerns using meaningful, actionable information.
