Licensed Educational Psychologist Lara Zawacki, MA, CAGS in Encinitas founded Education Psychological Services on Second Street in Old Encinitas near the Self Realization Fellowship gardens, specializing in psychoeducational assessment for children and adolescents. Her Tufts University graduate and specialist degrees in school psychology, combined with Nationally Certified School Psychologist designation since 2002 and ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider credentialing, build the diagnostic infrastructure that coordinates with the occupational and developmental therapy programs at Nest Pediatric Therapy. The practice provides comprehensive testing for ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and executive-function deficits, with differentiation of anxiety and mood disorders that can mimic or co-occur with learning differences. Dr. Zawacki also offers cognitive-behavioral therapy for adolescents and consultation for IEP and Section 504 services and accommodations within California public school systems including the Encinitas Union School District. Neurofeedback-based interventions for attention and self-regulation challenges at Braincare Performance Center in Cardiff-by-the-Sea complement her psychoeducational findings by providing brain-training protocols matched to the cognitive profiles her testing identifies. Advanced assessment cases involve full neuropsychological screening batteries spanning intellectual functioning, academic achievement, processing speed, working memory, and social-emotional inventories to differentiate ASD masking from anxiety-driven behavioral presentations.
