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.

OUR IEE APPROACH


Evaluation conducted by a qualified professional who is not part of the school district's assessment team.

We consider records, previous evaluations, interviews, observations, testing, and real-world functioning.

Results are connected directly to learning, participation, access, behavior, and educational needs.
Families receive practical recommendations to support meaningful educational planning and decision-making.




We discuss your concerns, the district evaluation, and the questions you would like the IEE to address.
We review relevant records and develop an individualized assessment plan.
Testing, interviews, observations, rating scales, and other appropriate methods are completed.
You receive a detailed report explaining findings, educational implications, and recommendations.
We're here to support your child's unique journey with insight, compassion, and evidence-based recommendations.
