Independent Psychoeducational Evaluations & Educational Consultation for Children and Adolescents in Massachusetts
When your child is struggling academically, socially, behaviorally, or with attention and executive functioning, it can be difficult to understand why—or know what support they truly need.
Learning Lab offers independent, comprehensive evaluations and educational consultation—so you leave with a full understanding of your child, findings explained in plain language, and practical recommendations you can act on.
Why is school so difficult when my child is clearly capable?
Could ADHD or a learning difference be affecting their progress?
Why are they struggling with organization, attention, or executive functioning?
Are their current IEP or 504 supports enough?
Is my child getting the support they truly need?
How can I better advocate for my child at school?
You don't have to navigate these questions alone.
I work with families to understand the whole child—not just test scores—and to make sense of what the results mean for learning at school and at home.

About
Amanda Bradshaw, M.Ed., NCSP, LEP
Licensed Educational Psychologist | Nationally Certified School Psychologist
With more than a decade of experience working in public education, I understand both the assessment process and the realities families face when navigating schools and special education.
My approach is warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and practical. I believe an evaluation should do more than identify areas of difficulty—it should help families understand their child's strengths, needs, and the supports that can help them thrive.
I work closely with parents, teachers, and other providers, and I take time to explain what the results mean and what to do with them—so you're not left holding a report without a plan.
As a mom myself, I also understand how important it is for parents to feel heard, informed, and confident when making decisions about their child's education.
