A WISC-IV assessment is a required part of the application to Acera. For some children a full neuropsychological evaluation, which includes a WISC-IV, may be needed. Assessments are helpful to determine if there is a fit between prospective students and Acera, as well as to inform individual learning plans for each child. While evaluations can be time consuming, they offer valuable data for the purposes of educational advocacy. The following are Boston area evaluators Acera parents have used in the past.
