Parents often ask whether to pursue a school-based assessment or a private psycho-educational evaluation.

School assessments are designed to determine eligibility for IEP or 504 services. Private assessments, on the other hand, focus on diagnosis and detailed recommendations to guide both educational and clinical care.

Some families choose to start privately and share results with the school, others begin with the district, and some do both simultaneously. The right choice depends on your child’s needs and your goals for support.

Is my child actually making progress?

It’s a question we hear often from parents—and it’s not always straightforward to answer. When schools use different assessments, scales, or unclear data points, it can be nearly impossible to tell what those numbers really mean for a child’s growth.

What helps teams and families see true progress:

✅ Use the same or similar assessments across time to make data comparable.

✅ Align results to a common metric or grade-level framework rather than relying on raw or vague scores.

✅ Report progress in percentiles, standard scores, or grade-level equivalency—metrics that reflect how a student is performing relative to peers and over time.

When data is consistent and measurable, parents and educators can work from a shared understanding—making it easier to identify what’s working, what’s not, and how to adjust supports meaningfully.

It’s that time of year again — conferences and first report cards. These meetings can offer important insight into how your child is doing, both academically and emotionally.

If you’ve noticed struggles or mixed feedback, try asking your child’s teacher these three questions to open up a more meaningful conversation:

(1) How does my child’s progress compare to what’s typical for their grade level?

(2) What types of supports or interventions are available if my child continues to struggle?

(3) At what point does the school consider a formal IEP evaluation or psycho-educational testing?

At The Bylund Clinic, we offer private neuro-educational assessments and educational consulting to help parents navigate these discussions with clarity and confidence.

We hear a lot of questions from parents about how to prepare their young adult for life after high school.

Which path is right?

What supports are needed?

Our Post-Secondary Transition Assessments help families:

• Identify the most appropriate high school completion option (certificate of completion, alternative path to diploma, or diploma)

• Clarify which goals should be included in a transition program

• Begin planning for next steps such as special needs trusts, conservatorships, DOR, and RCEB services

At The Bylund Clinic, we help parents understand their child’s options and create a clear plan for adulthood.

When a child with a disability turns 18, they’re legally considered an adult — even if they still need support with key life decisions. For some families, this is where a limited conservatorship comes in.

A limited conservatorship allows parents or guardians to make certain decisions (like healthcare, education, or finances) while still preserving the individual’s independence wherever possible. It’s more flexible than a general conservatorship, which grants full decision-making power to another person.

Families may also consider less restrictive options such as a power of attorney, but these can be revoked — while a conservatorship is a court order, offering stronger, longer-term protection.

Every family’s situation is unique, and the right choice depends on the young adult’s abilities, vulnerabilities, and goals for independence.

Parents notice things before anyone else does. If you sense something is going on with your child, it’s important to trust that instinct. Take the next step—schedule a meeting with your child’s teacher, request an assessment through the district, talk with your pediatrician, or connect with a clinic like ours. Seeking clarity is not overreacting. A second opinion can make all the difference in understanding your child’s needs.

It’s a myth that we can’t test for dyslexia in Kindergarten or 1st grade. Early red flags include difficulty remembering letters, rhyming, and breaking words into sounds. The earlier we identify these signs, the more effective intervention can be—especially before age 8. If you have concerns, advocate for an early school assessment or consider a private dyslexia evaluation.

Early action = lifelong impact!
