Find Help in Your State
To answer your requests for help, we built the Yellow Pages for Kids with Disabilities for every state and territory.
Your state Yellow Pages includes listings for psychologists, educational diagnosticians, therapists, health care providers, academic tutors, special education schools, advocates, attorneys, support and study groups, and others who provide services to parents and children.
Use the state directory to look for an individual in the private sector. |

Finding a Good Evaluator: What Education and Training do Evaluators Have?
If your child needs a psycho-educational evaluation, the examiner should have a master’s or doctoral degree in education, clinical psychology, or school psychology. If your child needs a neuropsychological evaluation, the evaluator will have a doctoral degree in psychology and training in neuropsychology. Evaluators should:
- have the credentials required by the laws of your state
- be trained according to the requirements of test publishers
- be willing to answer questions about their education, training, and experience
You should check references and review credentials.
Learn more about evaluator qualifications on page. 4, Chapter 1: So You Think Your Child Needs and Evaluation? in Wrightslaw: All About Tests and Assessments.
