ElevateU serves families across the Denver Metro area, including Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, Cherry Hills Village, Parker, and Broomfield, from our Cherry Creek office at 90 Madison St, Suite 304.
Lakewood
Families in Lakewood have access to doctoral-level psychoeducational assessment and support through ElevateU’s Cherry Creek office — a straightforward drive with no long waitlists or impersonal intake processes. If your child’s learning profile hasn’t been properly understood by their Lakewood school, Ashley brings the insider knowledge of Denver Metro school systems to help you change that. You leave with a clear identification and a plan that your child’s team can actually use.
Highlands Ranch
Highlands Ranch families often find their children are bright, motivated — and still not getting the support they need. Ashley’s specialization in gifted and twice-exceptional students means she identifies what high-achieving-on-the-surface profiles can hide. Your family leaves with an individualized plan that finally matches your child’s real academic and social-emotional needs.
Cherry Hills Village
Cherry Hills Village families expect a premium, credentialed experience — and ElevateU’s Cherry Creek location and doctoral-level expertise deliver exactly that. Ashley’s whole-child, team-integrated model means the assessment doesn’t end at the report; it extends to the school, the family, and every support provider involved. You walk away with a plan built for your child’s specific profile, not a cookie-cutter process.
Parker
Parker families navigating gifted identification, 504 Plans, Advanced Learning Plans (ALPs), or twice-exceptional evaluations now have a doctoral-level specialist who understands Colorado’s specific frameworks. Ashley’s experience in both public and private Denver Metro schools means she speaks the school’s language — and advocates effectively on your child’s behalf. You leave with documentation and a plan that holds up in any school meeting.
Broomfield
Broomfield students who have been overlooked, mislabeled, or simply misunderstood deserve an assessment that looks at the full picture. ElevateU’s individualized approach identifies both strengths and areas of need — and builds a plan that works across home, school, and any additional support providers. Your family leaves with clarity and a team that stays involved.
Why Denver Metro Families Choose ElevateU for Areas We Serve
Ashley Vacante Ed.D., NCSP, holds a doctorate from the University of Denver with a specialization in the identification, academic, and social-emotional needs of gifted and talented students. She is a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) through the National Association of School Psychologists — a credential that signals both expertise and accountability.
What sets ElevateU apart is direct, systems-level experience. Ashley has worked inside Denver Metro public and private schools — not just consulted with them. She understands how IEP meetings actually run, what language moves administrators, and where gifted and twice-exceptional students most often fall through the cracks.
ElevateU operates on a whole-child, team-integrated model. That means your child’s assessment doesn’t sit in a binder on a shelf. It goes to work — shared with school staff, parents, coaches, tutors, and any other support providers — so everyone is working from the same plan.
The Cherry Creek location is intentional. It signals a premium, established practice — one that families across Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, Cherry Hills Village, Parker, and Broomfield trust for the kind of individualized assessment that generalist practices simply don’t offer.
Common Questions About Areas We Serve in Denver
Do I have to come to Cherry Creek, or does ElevateU serve my area directly?
ElevateU serves families across the Denver Metro — including Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, Cherry Hills Village, Parker, and Broomfield — from our Cherry Creek office at 90 Madison St, Suite 304. Most families find the location straightforward to reach, and the assessment process is designed to minimize the number of visits required.
How is ElevateU different from having the school do the assessment?
School assessments are limited by what the district is required to assess under IDEA and Section 504 — they are not designed to identify giftedness or twice-exceptional profiles in depth. ElevateU’s independent, doctoral-level assessment looks at the full picture and produces a plan the school can act on, not just a compliance document.
What does a psychoeducational assessment at ElevateU actually include?
Ashley conducts individualized cognitive, achievement, and behavioral assessments tailored to your child’s specific profile. The process includes a review of school history, direct assessment sessions with your child, and a detailed debrief with your family — so you understand every finding and exactly what to do with it.
How much does an assessment cost?
ElevateU does not bill insurance directly, but we can provide documentation to support out-of-network reimbursement requests.
My child has already been assessed elsewhere. Can ElevateU still help?
Yes. Ashley offers consultation services to review existing assessments, explain what the findings mean in plain language, and help families advocate for the right support at school — whether that’s an Advanced Learning Plan (ALP), a 504 Plan, or an IEP.
Is ElevateU the right fit if my child is gifted but doesn’t have a diagnosed learning difference?
Absolutely. Gifted identification, Advanced Learning Plan (ALP) support, and social-emotional screening for high-ability students are core services at ElevateU. Giftedness alone — without a co-occurring learning difference — is a valid and important reason to seek a specialized assessment.
Ready to Find the Academic and Social Emotional Support Your Child Has Been Waiting For?
Reaching out takes two minutes. From there, Ashley will take the time to understand your child’s full picture — no rushed intake, no pressure to commit. You’ll leave your first conversation with a clearer sense of what your child needs and exactly what the next step looks like.
Families across Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, Cherry Hills Village, Parker, and Broomfield have found their way to ElevateU. Yours can too.
We provide a supportive environment to help students and their families find the academic and social-emotional help they have been searching for.
