Serving Holly Springs, NCHolly Springs families have made Anchor EEC in Cary a short drive worth taking. Rebecca provides the depth, speed, and specificity that large school systems often cannot deliver on their own timelines.
From early childhood concerns to adult assessments and homeschool testing, Rebecca covers the full range of psychoeducational and psychological evaluation services. Each evaluation is conducted one-on-one, and every report includes a personal results review so families leave with real clarity.
Comprehensive ADHD testing for ages 5 through adulthood. Rebecca distinguishes true ADHD from learning disorders, anxiety, and other conditions that can look identical. Reports are accepted by WCPSS, private schools, and pediatricians.

Learn moreHolly Springs is one of the fastest-growing towns in North Carolina. The population has grown from roughly 10,000 residents in 2000 to more than 50,000 today, and the pace has not slowed. That growth has been good for the community in many ways, but it has put meaningful pressure on Wake County Public School System resources in the Holly Springs area specifically.
When a family requests a school-initiated evaluation in a high-demand area, the timeline from referral to completed report can stretch across most of an academic year. School psychologists serve large caseloads, and the volume of referrals in fast-growing attendance zones compounds the wait. For a student who needs answers and support now, that timeline is not always workable.
A private evaluation from Anchor EEC operates on a completely different schedule. Rebecca can typically complete an intake, testing, and final report within a matter of weeks, not months. The report she produces belongs to your family. You can share it with the school team, a pediatrician, a private school, or any other provider, and it carries the authority of an independent licensed evaluation.
School evaluations are also limited by their purpose: they are designed to determine eligibility for special education services, not to answer every question a family might have. A private evaluation can go deeper, address the full clinical picture, and provide recommendations that go beyond what a school team can document in an eligibility meeting.
Rebecca completes evaluations on a private-practice timeline. Most families receive their report within weeks of the initial intake, giving you time to act within the current school year rather than waiting for the next one.
A private evaluation is not bound by the school's eligibility framework. It can address clinical questions, identify diagnoses, and make recommendations that school teams can then use to inform their own decisions about IEPs, 504 plans, and classroom support.
The evaluation report is yours. You decide who receives it and when. It can go to the school, a physician, a specialist, a private school admissions office, or a college disability services office. You are not dependent on the school to share it.
Holly Springs brings a specific mix of needs to the practice. Young families with elementary and middle school children make up the core of the referrals. New residents from other states need to establish care quickly. Students who have changed schools more than once often need reevaluations to update outdated records. Here is where those needs map to what Rebecca offers.
Holly Springs has a large population of young families with children in the early elementary grades, which is precisely when learning differences first become visible in structured academic settings. Reading and attention concerns that surface in kindergarten through third grade benefit most from early identification. Rebecca evaluates children from age 5, and early clarity leads to earlier, more effective support.
Families relocating from other states often have prior evaluation records from different school systems, different eligibility frameworks, and different diagnostic standards. Rebecca can review prior records, conduct an updated evaluation if needed, and produce documentation that translates cleanly into the North Carolina system. She can also explain how WCPSS handles transfers of services and what documentation the district requires.
Holly Springs has seen rapid enrollment growth, which means many students have changed schools at least once. Students who received services or accommodations at a previous school often need an updated evaluation to reestablish eligibility or transfer records into the new school's system. Rebecca conducts reevaluations efficiently and writes reports that give the new school team exactly what they need.
Holly Springs has an active homeschool community, and North Carolina law requires annual achievement testing for homeschool students. Rebecca administers the Woodcock-Johnson Fifth Edition one-on-one and produces a detailed written report that satisfies the NC requirement. Many homeschool families also come to Rebecca for evaluations when they suspect a learning difference or want to understand their child's learning profile more fully.
Holly Springs parents tend to be highly engaged in their children's education and often come to Rebecca specifically to strengthen their position in school eligibility meetings. A thorough private evaluation report gives parents a clear, data-backed document to bring to the table. Rebecca can also help families understand the difference between an IEP and a 504 plan and what each one can and cannot do for their child.
Students who received IEP or 504 accommodations in high school need updated evaluation documentation to access disability services and extended time at the college level. IEPs do not follow a student to college. Rebecca conducts college transition evaluations and writes reports that meet the documentation requirements of college disability offices and standardized test accommodation applications.
Anchor EEC is located at 106 New Edition Court in Cary, NC. Most Holly Springs families reach the office in 20 to 25 minutes via US-1 North. It is a straightforward drive with no complicated navigation, and there is convenient on-site parking.
Yes. Rebecca serves families throughout Wake County and beyond, including Fuquay-Varina, Angier, and communities along the US-1 and NC-55 corridors. Southern Wake County families have been an important part of the practice for years, and the drive to Cary is typically an easy one.
In private practice, Rebecca can typically schedule an initial intake within a few weeks, depending on the time of year. That is considerably faster than school-initiated timelines in a high-growth district, where the process from referral to report can stretch across an entire academic year. If your child needs answers before the next school year, calling early in the calendar year gives you the most scheduling options.
Wake County Public School System is a large, well-resourced district, but the Holly Springs area has grown faster than the district can always staff for. Families who request a school evaluation may face a timeline that does not match what their child needs right now. A private evaluation is conducted on your schedule, is not limited to questions the school has the authority to address, and produces a report you own and can share with any provider, physician, or school you choose. The findings also carry independent authority that school teams respect.
Yes. Rebecca evaluates students from private, independent, Montessori, and faith-based schools throughout Wake County. Private schools have their own accommodation processes and do not use IEPs, but a thorough evaluation report gives private school administrators and teachers what they need to provide appropriate support. Rebecca is familiar with the documentation private schools typically request.
Absolutely. Holly Springs has seen significant growth from families relocating from other states, and the North Carolina school system has its own terminology, processes, and timelines that can feel unfamiliar at first. Rebecca is happy to explain how WCPSS handles evaluations and accommodations, what an IEP or 504 plan looks like in NC, and where a private evaluation fits into that process. Many new residents find it helpful to establish a relationship with an independent evaluator early.
Call or email to schedule a consultation. Most Holly Springs families reach the Cary office in about 20 minutes, and Rebecca typically has availability within a few weeks. The sooner you call, the sooner you have answers your family can act on.
