S.E.A.A.S Assessment, Diagnostic and Advocacy Program

Multipurpose Educational Center will also include an Assessment, Diagnostic, and Advocacy program. The program will be set up to aid parents in identifying the Educational limitations of their children. S.E.A.A.S Consulting will provide private assessments for children, adolescents, and young adults. Experienced licensed psychologists or educational diagnosticians conduct all testing. Assessment services are available:

  1. Documentation of disability
  2. Psychoeducational Assessment
  3. Psychological Assessment

An additional component of the Assessment and Diagnostic program is Advocacy. As an Educational Advocate, S.E.A.A.S Consulting experts will review and interpret assessments and assist in developing Individual educational plans or 504 plans as determined by the child’s educational evaluation. Advocates will prepare for and attend IEP or 504 meetings and review special educational documents before they are signed.

Advocacy FAQs

More Advocacy FAQs
What is advocacy? Do I really need it? I do not want the school to think of me as a troublemaker or refuse to help my child.

Advocacy is a way to level the playing field so to speak. We help you to define and describe how you want the program to work for your child. If you have ever been told that the school can’t or doesn’t do something, your child has as much of a program or service that is possible with his or her level of functioning, or your requests are unreasonable, we can support you. We know the law, we know assessments, we know your rights, and we know how the system should work together. If you are reading this page, you would probably benefit from our services.

If you are having difficulty getting the school to listen to your concerns or questions about your parental rights, child’s services, programs, evaluations, or teachers, we are happy to either arrange a consultation or attend ARD meetings with you. We are a great alternative to lawyers and sometimes more well received by school districts. Adina Rich practices collaborative advocacy. Her goal is to see parents as partners with the school rather than adversaries.

What makes you the best advocates for us?
With experience in evaluation, programming, transitions, mediation, conflict resolution, coaching, facilitation, and communication strategies. we are truly experts at what we do. Because we provide a seasoned set of eyes and ears, parents are empowered to advocate for their child. When you hire us, you know you will be supported through all layers of the process and your voice will be heard.
My child is struggling in school but the school says my child is too young to be evaluated, and they want to wait until he is in second grade. Can they do that?
The short answer is No. If you suspect that your child has a disability that is keeping him from learning, you have a right to ask for your child to be evaluated under Child Find.
How long does the school have to test my child and in what areas will my child be tested?
Federal law dictates that school has 60 calendar days to test your child and 30 days from that date to call an ARD/IEP meeting to discuss the results and to determine whether a child meets eligibility criteria as a student with a disability under state and federal guidelines. If your child does meet eligibility an Individual Education Plan must be developed including specific goals and objectives designed to remediate your child’s progress. In Texas, the school has 45 school days from the date of consent to test your child and then 30 days to call the ARD/IEP meeting to discuss the results and determine whether a child meets eligibility for services as a student with a disability under state and federal guidelines.
What is inclusion and should my child have that?
Inclusion is time spent in a general education classroom with neurotypical, same-aged peers. The short answer is, again, yes, although there are many factors that could influence or support how inclusion looks for each child. We are going to help you advocate for the best program for YOUR child and we will discuss all of the options with you.
