Partnerships for Online & Charter Schools
Flexible, high-quality virtual psychoeducational evaluations to help your team meet timelines and support students.
The Challenge: Meeting Demand
We know that schools today face significant hurdles in securing timely, comprehensive evaluations. Whether you are managing a backlog, covering a leave of absence, or navigating a shortage of school psychologists, Orchid Psychological Services acts as an extension of your team.
Our Partnership Model
Unlike our private clinical practice, our School Partnership Division focuses specifically on educational eligibility and IDEA compliance. We provide reliable data to help your team make decisions, without the overhead of hiring full-time staff.
Why Partner with Orchid?
- Speed & Compliance: We understand the legal clock. We promise final reports with interpretation and recommendations within 10 business days of testing completion.
- Fully Virtual Solution: All tests and interviews can be conducted virtually, making us a seamless fit for online schools or districts needing remote support.
- Cost-Effective Capacity: Contracting for evaluations is often more flexible and budget-friendly than managing the salary and fringe benefits of additional full-time staff.
Service Scope: Educational Evaluations
Our school-based evaluations are tailored to answer specific referral questions regarding special education support. A standard evaluation may include:
- Cognitive and achievement testing.
- Language and executive functioning assessment.
- Virtual or in-person classroom observations (1–2 per student, if applicable).
- Teacher and parent interviews and rating scales.
- Comprehensive records review.
- Attendance at the eligibility determination meeting (virtual).
Note: These evaluations are specifically designed for school settings. Families seeking comprehensive medical diagnoses for private treatment planning should visit Our Services.
Partnership Packages
We offer simplified flat-rate structures for our school partners to make budgeting predictable.
- Per-Evaluation Contracts: For schools with occasional overflow needs.
- Volume Packages: Discounted rates available for blocks of 20, 40, or 60 evaluations.
- Rollover Flexibility: Unused package evaluations can be rolled over into the next school year.
