How Webb Psychological Services Partners with Schools and Educators in Tigard and Camas
If you work in a school, you already know what it feels like to be the first one to notice. Before a parent reaches out, before a referral is submitted, before anyone else in a child's life puts language to what they're seeing, it's usually a teacher, a counselor, or a learning support specialist who first wonders: is something more going on here?
That instinct matters. And we want to be a resource you can actually reach.
At Webb Psychological Services, we work with children, adolescents, and young adults across the Tigard-Tualatin School District, the Camas School District, and surrounding communities in the greater Portland and Vancouver metro area. A significant part of that work happens in direct collaboration with school staff. We want educators, school psychologists, learning specialists, counselors, and administrators to know who we are, what we offer, and how we can show up for the students you're already supporting.
We're Local, and We're In It With You
Our offices are located at 7000 SW Hampton St in Tigard and 2005 SE 192nd Ave in Camas. That's not incidental. We deliberately chose locations that serve the communities where many of our families live and where so many of the schools we partner with are located.
When a school team in Tigard refers a student for a psychoeducational evaluation, we aren't a distant provider across town. When a learning specialist in Camas wonders whether a student's reading difficulties point toward dyslexia, we're close enough to be a genuine part of that conversation.
We serve students from neighborhoods across Washington County and Clark County: Tigard, Tualatin, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Beaverton, Wilsonville, Camas, and throughout the greater Portland and Vancouver metro. If you're an educator in any of these communities, you're likely already working with families who are on our radar or who should be.
What Collaboration Actually Looks Like
One thing we hear consistently from school staff is that outside providers can feel hard to access. The loop doesn't always close. Reports land without context. Recommendations get made without awareness of what's already in place at school.
We try to do things differently. When a student comes to us for a psychological or neurodevelopmental evaluation, our goal isn't to hand a report to parents and disappear. We want findings to be useful to the people working with that child every day. That means writing reports that translate into actionable recommendations for classroom settings, communicating with school teams when families give us permission to do so, and being available for questions after evaluation results are shared.
We work with teachers, school counselors, special education coordinators, and learning support staff. We understand IEP and 504 processes. We know what schools need from an evaluation to move forward with services, and we write with that in mind.
If you're a school professional wondering whether a student you're supporting might benefit from an outside evaluation, we're genuinely glad to hear from you. You don't have to have a formal referral process to reach out.
Dyslexia Awareness and Early Literacy: Our Partnership with Forge Education
One of the partnerships we're most proud of is our collaboration with Forge Education, a literacy services organization serving the Portland metro area. Together, we co-host a complimentary Dyslexia Awareness and Early Literacy Development presentation designed specifically for school staff and families.
The presentation runs approximately 30 minutes and covers the questions that come up most often when a child is struggling with reading: what dyslexia actually is, the early signs that warrant closer attention, when and why to pursue a formal evaluation, and what intervention and remediation can look like. There's time built in for questions, because in our experience, those questions are where the most important conversations happen.
This presentation is free. We offer it because early identification changes outcomes. Research is clear that the earlier a child with dyslexia receives appropriate intervention, the better their trajectory. And the people best positioned to catch the early signs are often the professionals who see children every day in school.
If you're a teacher, school counselor, literacy coach, administrator, or learning specialist in the Tigard, Tualatin, Camas, or greater Portland-Vancouver area and you'd like to bring this presentation to your staff or school community, you can request it directly through our contact age, and we'll coordinate from there.
Event Sponsorships
We sponsor community events that support education, literacy, families, and children's wellbeing across the greater Portland and Vancouver area. That includes school-hosted events, events organized independently by educators or school professionals outside of school, nonprofit fundraisers, community races and runs, and other gatherings that bring people together around kids and learning.
If you're organizing something, or if you're a teacher or counselor who's personally involved in a community event that could use some support, we'd love to hear about it. You don't have to represent an institution to reach out. Individual educators who are out there doing good things in their communities are exactly the kind of people we want to show up for.
We take these opportunities seriously. Being present in the community, not just in our offices, is part of what it means to us to do this work well.
A Note on Dyslexia Specifically
Dyslexia is the most common learning difference we see in our evaluation work, and it remains one of the most consistently misunderstood. It isn't a vision problem. It isn't laziness or a lack of effort. It's a neurological difference in how the brain processes phonological information, and it has nothing to do with intelligence.
What it does have everything to do with is early intervention. Students who receive structured literacy instruction early, ideally before third grade, have significantly better reading outcomes than those who receive support later. The window matters.
For educators, this means that the student who's quietly struggling at the back of the class, the one who reads slowly and avoids it whenever possible, the one whose spelling seems disconnected from what they know, may be showing you exactly what you think they're showing you. That instinct you have? It's worth acting on.
A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation can confirm or rule out dyslexia, identify co-occurring differences like ADHD or processing concerns, and produce the documentation needed to access school-based supports or formal accommodations. We do this work every day, and we're glad to be a resource for your team.
