So you can have this wonderful ability to sort of think deeply about something.

But when it comes time to actually write something quickly or take notes or do a simple page of math facts, you're struggling with that.

And that's frustrating for you.

And then it's frustrating for your teachers and parents who think like, well, wait a minute, this should be really easy for you.

So the child has frustration all around them.

So I started out actually right out of undergraduate as a special education teacher.

So I taught special education for six years and then went back to get a degree in psychology and specialize in neuropsychological assessment.

So my area of interest is in sort of

The crossover between school problems and sort of like very real world kind of problems and neuropsychology, which is looking at how the brain, you know, understanding how the brain impacts what we do or getting information about our functioning in different areas of life, like language and visual motor skills and problem solving skills.

And that's what neuropsychology informs.

So I've been interested in that area of education and neuropsychology.

I do.

And one of the other things that I do at Massachusetts General Hospital is direct a program, an assessment center called the Learning and Emotional Assessment Program.

So it's been great to be able to do that.

So they're both great resources for parents.
