INDEPENDENT EDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONS IN BAKERSFIELD & KERN COUNTY

When questions remain after a school evaluation, an

Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) can provide an objective, comprehensive look at your child's strengths, needs, and educational functioning. 

​

At Bridge, we conduct thoughtful evaluations designed to answer the referral questions, examine the whole child, and provide recommendations families and educational teams can actually use. 

  • You have concerns about the completeness or accuracy of a school evaluation

  • Important areas of functioning may have been fully assessed

  • Findings do not seem to reflect what you see at home or school

  • You have questions about eligibility, services, or educational needs

  • Previous evaluations have produced conflicting or unclear information

  • You want an independent professional perspective before making important educational decisions
