Student focused support through consultation, coaching and assessment

About Me
Kates Education Solutions helps individuals and teams navigate today’s increasingly complex and challenging education system.
After over 20 years in education and hundreds of successful IEP meetings, I realized that my passion for empowering parent and student access and success was limited by specific roles. We all want the best for our children, and sometimes home instinct and insight gets lost in the process and challenges of school reality.
I draw upon my depth of experience as a credentialed School Psychologist, Administrator, Teacher, and equally important, parent of gifted/twice exceptional children, to help navigate the increasingly challenging world of education. Translating “Ed speak,” finding common ground, developing positive strategies, or understanding your learner can be overwhelming. I’m here to help you with compassion, clarity, and support at every step, whatever you and your family may need.

An LEP is authorized by the California Board of Behavioral Science Examiners to conduct private assessments, provide direct intervention services, to consult with schools and families, as well as make professional recommendations for individuals who may experience learning and behavioral problems, regardless of age. These services may include statements of eligibility for special education, accommodations for standardized tests or employment settings, gifted/talented program placement, appropriate special education programs, tutoring or other remediation approaches, utilizing specific psychoeducational diagnoses.
As described by the California Board of Behavioral Science Examiners, Licensed Educational Psychologists utilize a base of knowledge in education, developmental psychology, clinical psychology, and special education and focus on the intersection between mental health, learning, behavior, and educational success.
