Targeted Re-Evaluations

Given the nature of developmental, social, and emotional difficulties and increasing academic demands that arise, a targeted, updated evaluation may be warranted to monitor progress after recommendations are implemented.

Ongoing Support Services

• Following the completion of an evaluation, ongoing support services that foster development and facilitate future success may include:
• Attending a team meeting at school to help create a learning support plan/IEP/504 Plan
• Consulting with attorneys about cases involving special education law
• Meeting with teachers to help develop actionable solutions to challenges
• Attending a treatment team meeting to report on a client’s response to interventions
• Consulting with school placement specialists to help determine the best “match” for a student

Educational Planning and Record Review/Second Opinions

Some families are not interested in or may not feel ready to move forward with an evaluation. Some families recently received an evaluation, and are looking for a second opinion. Dr. Katz can assist families or treatment providers (e.g., psychologists/social workers/psychiatrists/pediatricians) with interpreting prior testing reports, reviewing learning support plans/IEPs/504 Plans, and/or prioritizing treatment or educational planning options.

She maintains strong relationships and collaborates with compassionate and exceptional specialists including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, speech-language therapists, occupational therapists, learning specialists/tutors, educational consultants, educational attorneys, pediatricians, and neurologists.
