Today, we’re talking to my friend Leanne. Leanne is a school psychologist working with elementary school students. I really enjoyed our conversation. It was both wide ranging, and insightful.
In today’s episode, we talk about how school testing works, things that don’t show up on tests and rating scales, the difference between private testing and school testing, and looking at the whole student to determine what’s best for your kid.
My "Wall of Awful" model was recently featured on Jessica McCabe's How to ADHD channel on YouTube. I'd love it if you'd go check out her channel, as well as my episodes (Episode 1 and Episode 2). They really do great work, and I'm honored to be included on the channel.
