What Happens When We Work Together

No mystery, no runaround. Three steps.

1

We talk.

Twenty minutes, free, no pitch. You tell me what’s happening and what you’ve already tried. I tell you honestly whether I’m the right person. If I’m not, I’ll tell you who is.

Twenty minutes
2

We find the pattern.

Depending on what you need, that’s a private psychoeducational assessment, a fresh look at testing you already have, or working through the Buckets and Barrels questionnaire together. The goal is the same either way: a clear picture of how your child’s mind actually works.

Together, at your pace
3

You walk in prepared.

Plain-language results you can actually read. The right words for the IEP or 504 meeting. A plan for home. And me in your corner for as long as you want me there.

For as long as you need

Every Child Deserves to Be Heard

“When we understand how a child’s mind works, we can stop punishing what is hard and start celebrating what is strong.”

Rhonda Brimmer Austin, M.Ed.

In Their Words

What Families Found

“We are incredibly thankful for Rhonda, who helped our daughter navigate a difficult journey with undiagnosed learning challenges. Rhonda’s assessment gave us the answers we had been searching for, and her guidance through the school’s 504 process made all the difference. Because of her expertise and advocacy, our daughter entered her senior year with the accommodations she needed, and the confidence to thrive.”

Parents
“I returned to college in my 40s and needed a current, comprehensive evaluation to receive accommodations for my BCBA exam. Rhonda came highly recommended, and she exceeded my expectations. Her thorough evaluation, attention to detail, and deep understanding of learning differences made me feel supported and confident, and I obtained the accommodations I needed. I truly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate educational diagnostician.”

“Rhonda was an absolute delight to work with. She brings subject matter expertise and a genuine warmth that put both my child and me at ease throughout the entire evaluation process. From our first conversation, she took the time to really listen to our concerns and explain each step clearly, so we never felt lost or overwhelmed.”
