Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 299: Dr. Jonine Nazar-Biesman on Navigating the Neuropsych Evaluation Process · 26 Jul 2022 podcast

Maybe even just consulting with a neuropsych.

Sometimes I may just look at test results and offer that.

have already been done and offer a little bit further or deeper interpretation or I may be picking up a student for therapy who's already been assessed, but you know, I'll see just through behavioral observation something that may seem like it got missed.

And so there'll be an open conversation about that.

But it can be absolutely valuable, but I also understand that

You know, we work with what we have.

So we work with budgets, we work with resources.

Sometimes some information is better than no information.

And they also base it on functioning.

You know, it's not necessarily vital if a student's thriving, doing okay, happy at home, involved in some activities, has some friends, you know, not huge, you know, complaints at school.

If your child is happy and thriving.

Then maybe it's not the most absolutely necessary.

Of course, it would add a layer of deeper understanding and insight, but not absolutely necessary.

So sometimes we just base it on what's going on with a student.

And in some cases, where it things are a mystery, and parents are struggling so much to understand what's driving the behavior, what's driving the responses or the reactivity or the desire.

Discomfort or the anxiety, then it can be extremely helpful to educate parents because then they have those aha moments and understanding of their students, not seeing it as oppositional behavior.

Just as an aside, I don't really even go to a diagnosis of oppositional defiant disorder ever because I just feel it's kind of a throwaway, useless kind of diagnosis.

We understand if a student's being disruptive and oppositional, we can see that, you know, we don't need to call it something, but we need to understand why.

And so I think that's the time in which a neuropsyche valve can be insightful.

Depends on what's going on.
