Presentations

PEACE ED crafts topic-specific, tailor-made, research-informed, and engaging seminars, professional development sessions, town hall meetings, assemblies, and student gatherings. After the event, attendees and educational institutions receive access to presentation slides, comprehensive resources, and reference lists to facilitate continued growth and learning.

Evaluations

A psychoeducational evaluation is a systematic way of gathering information about a child’s overall strengths, challenges, and needs. The process involves reviewing educational records (such as report cards), interviewing key team members (like the family, teachers, and the student themself), observing the child in different settings, and administering questionnaires and direct assessments based on the questions that prompted the evaluation. All of this information contributes to the development of a written report that provides diagnostic conclusions and individualized recommendations. A feedback session is then scheduled to help families and educators (and the child) understand the findings and collaboratively plan for next steps.

Advocacy

Advocacy services include direct support for families during formal educational processes, such as special education or Section 504 meetings, Student Support Team (SST) meetings, and admissions or accommodations discussions in both public and private schools. By understanding families’ concerns and goals, and applying relevant legal and ethical standards, PEACE ED ensures that their voices are heard and that meaningful progress is made toward desired educational outcomes.

Counseling

Counseling services offer an ongoing, collaborative, confidential, and solutions-focused experience designed to help children build essential skills and address common concerns. Evidence-based therapeutic strategies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), support children in exploring the connection between their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. This structured and individualized approach can increase self-awareness, contribute to personal growth, strengthen relationships, and promote meaningful progress toward overall wellness.

Empowerment

Empowerment coaching and consultation services are designed to equip children, families, and educators with the skills and confidence they need to be effective in settings like home, school, and the community. Coaching may include setting goals, discussing evidence-based information, sharing practical strategies, and developing advocacy tools. This approach may be especially beneficial for families outside California or for those who prefer to take a more hands-on role in achieving desired educational outcomes.
