Contracted Psychoeducational Evaluations
Standards-aligned evaluation support that integrates cleanly with district systems and timelines.
Global Psychoeducational Solutions partners with districts to complete comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations on a contracted, per-evaluation or short-term basis. This support is designed to reduce backlog, address staffing gaps, and maintain compliance during periods of increased referral volume. Evaluations are conducted using current, norm-referenced instruments and are aligned with district procedures, state requirements, and NASP-informed best practices.
GPS functions as an independent provider while collaborating closely with district teams to ensure reports are clear, defensible, and ready for eligibility and IEP decision-making.
District services include
- Comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations completed in accordance with district procedures and mandated timelines.
- Remote or in-person delivery, based on student profile, district preference, and operational needs.
- Clear, well-organized reporting appropriate for eligibility determination, compliance documentation, and IEP planning.
- Collaboration with school teams to align referral questions, existing data, and assessment planning.
- Optional attendance at eligibility and problem-solving meetings to support interpretation and next steps.

What a Comprehensive Evaluation Clarifies
Not just scores. A defensible understanding of how your child learns, and what the school should do with that information.
A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation integrates cognitive, academic, and social-emotional data with developmental history and records to explain patterns that may be affecting learning, performance, and school functioning. The goal is clarity that can be translated into educational planning, targeted supports, and appropriate accommodations when warranted.
The final report is written to be usable in real school decision-making. It synthesizes findings into practical implications and evidence-informed recommendations, using language that is clear, neutral, and aligned with educational standards.
Families receive
- A thorough review of records and developmental context to frame the referral concerns accurately.
- Targeted assessment across cognitive and academic domains, with attention to processing, efficiency, and learning demands.
- Integrated interpretation that explains patterns (strengths, vulnerabilities, and educational impact) in plain, professional language.
- A clear written report with school-relevant implications and specific, evidence-informed recommendations.
- A feedback meeting to walk through findings, answer questions, and support next-step planning.

Evaluation Method
GPS evaluations are conducted using a modern, digitally supported clinical workflow when appropriate. Assessment administration, scoring, records review, and reporting are integrated through secure platforms to support efficiency, accuracy, and clarity throughout the evaluation process. Digital administration is utilized when instruments allow, enabling the evaluation experience to reflect contemporary learning environments while maintaining standardized procedures and documentation standards. Clinical judgment guides instrument selection, administration format, and interpretation in every case.
The method is designed to reduce friction for families and schools while preserving the rigor required for educational planning, eligibility determinations, and formal decision-making.

Evaluation Contexts
GPS provides a single comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation service. The scope, documentation depth, and reporting format are calibrated based on the context in which the evaluation will be used.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Designed for families seeking a full understanding of learning, attention, and performance across academic settings. Documentation emphasizes synthesis, pattern analysis, and practical educational implications to support planning, accommodations, and long-term decision-making.
District-Contracted Evaluation
Conducted to meet school-based referral questions, timelines, and eligibility requirements. Assessment scope and reporting are aligned with district procedures and regulatory standards while maintaining clinical integrity.
Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE)
Completed within a formal dispute or review context requiring enhanced documentation, explicit rationale, and detailed linkage between data, conclusions, and recommendations. Reports are structured to support independent review and high-stakes decision-making.

Comprehensive Psychoeducational Evaluations
GPS evaluations are designed to clarify how a student learns, processes information, and sustains performance under real academic demand. Cognitive, academic, and socio-emotional data are integrated with developmental history and records review to develop a coherent, defensible profile of strengths and needs. Findings are translated into precise educational implications that support planning, accommodations, and formal decision-making across school contexts.
For families & districts
Independent Educational Evaluations
Impartial assessments to navigate complex, high‑stakes educational decisions.
Our Independent Educational Evaluations are conducted by a qualified examiner who is not employed by the public agency responsible for your child’s education. We adhere to NASP guidelines and use current, norm‑referenced measures to provide a balanced and legally defensible understanding of strengths, challenges and needs. This neutral perspective helps families and districts make informed decisions with confidence and clarity.
An IEE includes
- A collaborative planning consultation and thorough review of existing records.
- Targeted, up‑to‑date assessments across cognitive, academic, social, emotional and adaptive domains.
- Structured input from both school personnel and family members to ensure a holistic perspective.
- A clear, balanced report that synthesizes findings and offers evidence‑based recommendations for next steps.
- Optional participation in school meetings to explain findings and support implementation.
We use only modern, research-aligned tools—the most current versions—so every evaluation is accurate, comprehensive, and legally defensible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers about GPS psychoeducational evaluations—timelines, formats, school acceptance, scope, and next steps for families and schools.
How is a private psychoeducational evaluation different from a school-based evaluation?
A GPS psychoeducational evaluation is independent, thorough, and practical. We assess thinking, learning, and academic skills and translate results into clear classroom strategies and testing accommodations. Schools decide eligibility for IEPs/504 plans; our private evaluation gives teams and parents specific, school-ready recommendations.
How long does the evaluation process take?
Most families receive the report within four weeks. Timing varies with scheduling, the referral question, and how quickly records and rating scales are returned. We keep you updated from testing through the feedback conference.
Do you offer in-person and virtual evaluations?
Yes. We provide in-person, virtual, and hybrid evaluations using secure platforms and current test batteries. We choose the format that fits your child and protects valid, reliable results.
Will my child’s school accept a GPS evaluation for IEP or 504 decisions?
Our reports are designed for school use—data, interpretation, and specific recommendations aligned to classroom demands and standardized testing. Final eligibility is the school’s decision, but GPS evaluations help IEP/504 teams and private school admissions plan appropriate supports.
What ages do you serve?
We evaluate school-age students (elementary, middle, high school) and select college-bound students needing documentation for testing accommodations. Ask us about very young learners or adult testing and we’ll guide you to the right option.
Do you assess ADHD, dyslexia, giftedness, or other learning differences?
Yes. We evaluate ADHD and executive function, specific learning disorders like dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, processing weaknesses, and advanced/gifted profiles. Reports can include documentation for IEP/504 or college-board accommodations when appropriate, plus concrete strategies for home and school.
