At True Genius Education Services, Inc., assessments are primarily used to guide instructional planning, therapy goals, employment readiness, and program placement.
True Genius Education provides licensed speech-language and occupational therapy evaluations within the scope of our clinical practice. We also offer supplemental speech and occupational therapy evaluations that may be used as part of an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) process under IDEA, when appropriate. In addition, True Genius Education conducts employment readiness, vocational aptitude, and functional skill assessments to determine appropriate levels of coaching, support, and program placement.
True Genius Education does not provide comprehensive psychoeducational or neuropsychological evaluations. Our assessments are designed to identify strengths, areas of need, and the supports required for meaningful progress within therapy, academic, and vocational programming.
Families receive a written summary outlining results, recommendations, and next steps.
