THE REFERRAL PROCESS

A school aged child typically comes through my door in the following way:

1.
Starting off
A parent, in disagreement with the district evaluation, requests a second opinion with someone at the district who is authorized to grant second opinion evaluations. This individual is usually known as the Director of Special Education or Program Specialist.
2.
Select Provider
When granted the evaluation, the parent is provided with a list of out-of-district psychologists to choose from (however, the parent can choose any psychologist outside the list as long as the psychologist has the appropriate credentials requested by the district).
3.
Approval
If the parent chooses NEC, all the parent needs to do is email me the letter of approval at dr.veronica@neuroedclinic.com. Once I receive the letter, I will contact the parent to learn more about his/her child. I ensure that the parent has selected me to complete their child's evaluation and obtain permission from the parent to contact the district personnel to establish a contract. This ensures that the IEE is provided at no cost to the family.

Evaluation Timespan

Once the evaluation begins, the average time of completion is between 2 and 3 months. The IEEs offered by NEC are comprehensive and thorough. They are not only helpful for district personnel but also for parents. We pride ourselves that we can present reports in a language that is parent-friendly (defining psychological and other technical terms, etc.).
