Bio
I am an Educational Diagnostician who attended Texas Tech University for my undergraduate studies and Texas Woman’s University and the University of Texas Permian Basin for my graduate studies. I obtained my Masters of Arts in Special Education with a specialization in Diagnostics in 2003. I have diverse work experience, including working as an Educational Diagnostician, Speech Language Pathologist-Assistant, Gifted and Talented Tester, State Testing Reconciler, and Texas Certification Assessment Scorer.
My Services
Expertise. Intuition. Ingenuity.
Dyslexia Evaluations
I work with the guidelines determined by each district to evaluate students for dyslexia, to make recommendations for programming based on the options available in your district, and to explain the results of the testing to parents.
Specific Learning Disability Evaluations
I utilize various assessment instruments, as a part of a multidisciplinary team, to assist in identifying students eligible for Special Education Services and in determining appropriate intervention strategies and techniques.
ARD Facilitation
I prepare for ARD meetings and effectively use district technology applications when facilitating the ARD process. In addition, I collaborate with campus/district staff to ensure compliance with state assessment requirements and to provide support and guidance to the campus special education team.
