We may sit on the floor and play for a little bit.
We may bring a parent in to help with some co-regulation.
We may just honor what their sensory needs are in the moment.
We may pull out some different kinds of, you know, fidgets or just try to offer some over.
O T like interventions in the process just to help regulate.
And then, you know, we can try again.
So sometimes our timing is not a student's timing and we need to adjust accordingly.
I think what we talked about initially just taking some care and vetting in the beginning, although, you know, no one has a crystal ball to see how it all comes out.
But I do believe, and this sometimes happens, at least in the state of California, there's an IEEE process where a family can get an independent educational evaluation if they disagree.
You know, this is if a set of testing has been conducted.
Conducted at school, and parents really feel like, God, this is completely off base.
You missed my child completely.
So I would in that case, since parents are 24-7, they know their students best, and we should all defer to parents because they truly are the experts.
And listen, if
A student hasn't been captured accurately, I think that's very important information for a parent to impart and advocate that there needs to be some degree of reassessment or reconsideration, even if it has been done at a high level, and there should be open lines of communication where a parent can feel not daunted by this, but just to be forthright and say, you know what?
Like maybe this part of my child sounds accurate, but this part does not, you know.
So how did you get to how did you arrive at this place?
And, you know, it should be an open discussion 'cause you I wouldn't want anything necessarily in writing about my kid that didn't really capture the essence of them.
On a theoretical level, I would say yes, absolutely, and as a neuropsych, see the value in it.
But on a practical level, you know, I try to talk parents through, especially if they don't have the time or the resources, because not everybody does, you know, have the benefit of being able to pursue this.
