Serving Wilson and Wilson CountyPsychological evaluations for Wilson, NC families
Wilson County families and private schools already send students to Rebecca in Cary. About an hour up US-264, Anchor EEC provides ADHD, dyslexia, and autism evaluations, private school and homeschool testing, and therapy by video or in person.
Worth the Drive
What Wilson families come to Cary for
An hour is a real drive, so families from Wilson make it for things that matter: a full evaluation when a child is struggling and nobody can say why, a report a private school can act on, or a second opinion from someone outside the school system. Rebecca trained in school psychology at East Carolina University and spent her public school career in eastern and central North Carolina, so eastern NC families are not new to her.
ADHD evaluations
Testing for ages 5 through adulthood that tells ADHD apart from learning disorders, anxiety, and other explanations, so the plan that follows fits the real problem.

An outside evaluation, planned around an hour's drive
Whether your child attends Wilson County Schools, a private or faith-based school, or learns at home, an independent evaluation gives you a full clinical picture that belongs to your family. Rebecca spent more than 15 years as a school psychologist in North Carolina public schools before opening her practice, so she knows what a school evaluation covers and what it does not.
What independent testing adds
A school evaluation is built to decide whether a student qualifies for special education services, and it runs on the district's timeline. An independent evaluation asks what is actually going on with your child, uses the tests Rebecca judges best for the question, and is written for you first.
You decide who sees the report. When you bring it to an IEP team, federal law requires the team to consider it.
- A second opinion when you disagree with the school team
- A broader battery than eligibility testing usually includes
- Recommendations a private school can put in place
- Support preparing for IEP and 504 meetings
What the drive from Wilson looks like
Anchor EEC is about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes from Wilson, mostly on US-264 and I-440. Families from Elm City, Lucama, Stantonsburg, and Black Creek add a little more.
The first conversation is a phone call. Rebecca learns what you are seeing and recommends the right evaluation before you commit to a trip. After that, most evaluations take two or three visits: one or two testing sessions and an in-person feedback session where she walks you through the report.
Therapy works differently. Secure video sessions are available for clients located in North Carolina, so a teen or young adult in Wilson can meet with Rebecca weekly without the drive.
Beyond the School Years
Support for Wilson students heading to college, and for families using ESA+
Families from Wilson come to Anchor EEC at every stage, from a first evaluation in elementary school to updated documentation before college.
College transition testing
IEPs and 504 plans do not follow a student to college. Whether a student is headed to Barton College, Wilson Community College, ECU, or a school across the state, the college's disability office will ask for current documentation. Rebecca provides updated evaluations for college accommodations and ACT or SAT accommodation requests.
Learn moreESA+ renewals
Families using North Carolina's ESA+ scholarship need updated documentation of continuing eligibility. Anchor EEC is on the official NCSEAA provider list and accepts ClassWallet payments.
Learn moreAdult evaluations
Evaluations are available for adults too. Parents who recognize their own childhood in their child's struggles, and adults who were never tested in school, can get answers about ADHD, learning disorders, and cognitive concerns.

Common Questions
Questions from Wilson families
How far is Anchor EEC from Wilson?
Anchor EEC is at 106 New Edition Court, Cary, NC 27511. From Wilson, the drive is about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes, mostly on US-264 and I-440. From Elm City, Lucama, and Stantonsburg, add a few minutes. It is a real drive, which is why the first conversation happens by phone and the number of trips is kept small.
How many trips does an evaluation take from Wilson?
Usually two or three. Testing takes one or two sessions depending on the evaluation, and then Rebecca meets with you in person to go through the report and answer questions. Most families have the written report and feedback session within about three to four weeks of testing. Nothing requires a trip until testing day.
Do private schools in Wilson County refer students to Anchor EEC?
Yes. Private schools in Wilson County send students to Rebecca because they have seen her reports. The usual path is that the parent calls, Rebecca learns what the family and the classroom teacher are seeing, she completes the testing, and then she reviews the report with the parents, who share it with the school.
Can Wilson County Schools use an evaluation from Anchor EEC?
Yes. Under federal special education law, a school team must consider an outside evaluation that parents bring to them when making decisions about a student. Rebecca spent more than 15 years as a school psychologist in North Carolina public schools, so her reports are written with IEP and 504 meetings in mind.
Is therapy practical if we live in Wilson?
Yes. Rebecca provides therapy for children, teens, and young adults through age 22. Sessions are held in person in Cary, and secure video sessions are available for clients located in North Carolina, so weekly therapy does not have to mean a weekly two-hour round trip.
Can you test more than one homeschooled child in one visit?
Ask when you call. North Carolina requires an annual nationally standardized achievement test for every homeschool student, and families driving from Wilson can ask about testing siblings on the same day so one trip covers everyone. Rebecca administers the Woodcock-Johnson Fifth Edition one on one and writes a report for each child.
