About Cliff Pereira

I am a bilingual school psychologist and founder of Entrusted School Psychology Services, LLC.

With over 20 years of experience in education — including 12 years in the classroom and over a decade as a school psychologist — I bring a deep understanding of both instruction and assessment to my work with school teams.

I partner with school districts in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including Greater Boston, Worcester County, the Blackstone Valley, and Providence-area communities, to provide culturally and linguistically responsive evaluations, MLL-informed assessment, and behavior consultation that support accurate, data-driven decision-making.

In my work, I focus on helping teams differentiate between language acquisition and disability, strengthen intervention planning, and ensure evaluations are both defensible and practically useful.

I conduct cognitive, academic, behavioral, and functional assessments and collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure evaluations translate into effective supports.

My experience spans Pre-K through 12 in both public and charter settings, including urban and multilingual communities with complex student needs. This allows me to approach each evaluation with both technical rigor and contextual understanding.

I bring both lived experience and professional training to my work with multilingual and culturally diverse families. I understand how language, culture, and educational systems intersect—and how easily students can be misidentified when those factors are not fully considered.
