If you want to be a school psychologist or have ever wondered what a school psychologist does, then this episode is for you! School psychologists are collaborators, advocates, leaders, and team players! They are in charge of assessing school aged children and identifying their needs for success in school. They work with other clinicians like Occupational and Speech therapists as well as mental health therapists and school counselors! In this episode we talk diagnosis, IEP's, and the many factors influencing student struggles and successes.
