Meet the Team
Dr. Davenport recognized many charter schools were not SPED knowledgeable nor did they have the funds or talent to provide SPED services. Diagnostic Assessment Services, Inc. (DAS) was born.
DAS remains a woman-owned business. Dr. Davenport continues to serve as CEO and Founder. Our leadership team consists of highly educated professionals. They understand SPED law, best practices, and their specialization is all woven together with a heart to serve.
