# Psycho-Educational Consultants Group (PEC Group)

> PEC Group is a Licensed Educational Psychology practice founded in 2022 and headquartered in Sorrento Valley, San Diego, California. The team provides neuropsychological and psychoeducational evaluations and educational support for children, teens, and adults navigating ADHD, dyslexia, autism, learning disabilities, and related challenges. Beyond testing, PEC Group helps families understand their child's needs and secure the right support across public and private school systems throughout California.

The practice was founded by Karen Veinbergs, LEP (#3851) and Sarah Vakharia, LEP (#3779), both Diplomates of the American Board of School Neuropsychology. Evaluations follow a five-step process (intake, observation and interviews, testing, review meeting, and follow-up support) and result in a plain-language "Roadmap of Services" with specific recommendations for home and school. PEC Group also offers bilingual (Spanish) and culturally responsive evaluations. A free consultation is available.
