IEP & 504 Support and Family Advocacy
Helping families navigate school accommodations with the clinical evaluation and documentation an IEP or 504 plan may require.
Support for school accommodations
When a child's mental health or attention affects learning, an IEP or 504 plan can unlock accommodations that make school work better. Getting there often requires clear clinical documentation and a knowledgeable partner. At Refine Psychiatry, we support families through that process — providing the psychiatric evaluation and documentation that schools rely on.
How we support families
We help families who are:
Seeking evaluation to support an IEP or 504 request Unsure whether their child qualifies for accommodations Navigating a school's process for the first time Needing updated documentation for an existing plan Coordinating care between clinicians and the school

Our approach
We start with a thorough evaluation of your child's needs, then provide the clear, accurate documentation schools require. Parents are partners throughout, and we coordinate with the school and other providers as appropriate.
The process
Support typically begins with a comprehensive evaluation, followed by documentation of findings and recommendations for accommodations. We can help you understand your options, though the school ultimately determines eligibility and the final plan.
What to expect as a family
The first visit is a comprehensive evaluation that includes parents. From there we'll provide documentation and guidance — in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, or by secure video across California.
