Ashley Freeman, M.S., Ed.S.
Qualified Assistant — Testing
“Every child deserves an education, and academic supports, as unique as they are.”

I bring a unique perspective to the 417 Psych team, bridging the gap between clinical psychological evaluation and the complex world of educational eligibility. As a former school psychologist and an Instructor of Psychology at Drury University, I understand child development, psychopathology, and education law from both the practitioner and academic sides.
At 417 Psych, I specialize in administering, scoring, and providing core report-writing insights for our comprehensive child and adolescent evaluations. My goal is to ensure that my part of an evaluation is technically accurate and comfortable for your child. Once Dr. Roldan determines any relevant diagnoses, I can add DESE standards that will make psycho-educational reports practically useful for your family. I blend my training and experience in child behavior with a warm, low-pressure approach that helps children feel completely at ease during their testing day.

I completed my undergraduate degree at Drury University where I graduated Magma Cum Lade with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Behavioral Neuroscience. I then went on and received my Master of Science (M.S.) in Clinical Child Psychology and Specialist in Education (Ed.S.) degree in School Psychology (Summa Cum Lade) at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (Cum Lade). My clinical and educational background spans multiple intensive evaluation environments:
School-Based Practice: I served as a School Psychologist for the Special School District of St. Louis County, managing comprehensive special education evaluations, navigating IEP and 504 committees, and collaborating directly with parents and teachers.
Clinical & Neuropsychological Testing: I gained rigorous clinical testing experience as a Neuropsychology Assistant at Mercy Hospital and as a clinical intern at the SIUE Attention and Behavior Clinic, specializing in gold-standard cognitive, achievement, and behavioral rating tools.
Higher Education: I share my passion for clinical science and child development in my role as an Instructor of Psychology at Drury University, where I teach courses in Psychopathology, Positive Psychology, and Introduction to Psychology.
