Isabel Ramos Echandi, M.Ed., LSP, LPA Independent Practice
Bilingual LSP/LPA Independent Practice | CLD Assessment Specialist
Delivering culturally responsive, legally sound evaluations that support equitable, meaningful student outcomes
Isabel is a bilingual (English/Spanish) school psychologist and founder of Cupertino’s Education Advocacy PLLC specializing in CLD assessments. She partners with school districts and families across Texas to provide comprehensive evaluations, consultation, and professional development that support equitable, data-driven decision-making.
With extensive experience across Texas public schools and international settings, Isabel brings a unique global perspective shaped by her life as both a military dependent child and spouse, living and working within diverse communities. This lived experience informs Isabel's deep understanding of how culture, language, mobility, and environment influence student learning and overall functioning.
Isabel's work is grounded in delivering legally sound, culturally responsive and professionally rigorous psychological evaluation services that translate complex assessment data and bridge the gap between compliance and meaningful student outcomes—providing clear, actionable insights that empower educational teams to make informed, data-driven, student-centered decisions.
As a newly established military-connected, woman-owned, independent professional entity committed to educational equity, Cupertino's Education Advocacy PLLC is grounded in extensive experience providing psychological services within public school systems with a fundamental desire to help address the significant shortage of bilingual evaluators available to serve Texas families and school districts in supporting timely, accurate, and culturally responsive assessment practices.
In addition to psychological evaluation services, Cupertino's Education Advocacy PLLC also offers professional development and consultation designed to expand the knowledge base and capacity of district-employed evaluators. This capacity-building approach promotes sustainability by strengthening internal evaluation practices and helping districts meet their legal and ethical obligations while improving outcomes for students and families.
Cupertino’s Education Advocacy PLLC provides bilingual psychological evaluation and consultation services to Texas schools and families to support equitable access to educational services for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) students.
