"Some years ago, I was embroiled in a dispute regarding my son's Individualized Education Plan.  It did not address his educational needs and the school district was unwilling to hear my parent concerns.  A special education attorney referred me to Dr. Kotula, and I am pleased that she conducted a full comprehensive educational evaluation on my son.  The thoroughness of the report outlining his educational needs was eye-opening. . . ."  View Full Testimonial

"As education consultants to both parents and school districts, we recommend often that getting an evaluation by Dr. Kotula is an essential first stop when there are any concerns with academic achievement or performance--especially if any concerns are suspected to be related to a disability. Dr. Kotula's evaluations are extremely professional, comprehensive, objective, standards-based, and uniquely designed to appreciate the skills of the child she is working with in order to yield the most reliable results. Whether as an initial assessment or as part of a more comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Kotula's evaluations ensure you'll have the information needed to craft a meaningful and appropriate plan moving productively forward in educational programming."
