Too often we go in thinking we're gonna find out what's wrong or we're gonna find out what the diagnosis is.
A diagnosis is a shortcut to understanding what this mismatch is between the way your child brain works and the way the environment expects it to work.
So just knowing that for ourselves.
And then for our child, I really find it important to start with their words, their lived experience, and something that they know is a challenge.
So it could be as simple as, you know how you've been telling me you don't like your math homework lately?
Well, I found
somebody who might be able to help us figure that out.
Hey Debbie, I'm super excited to be here.
Absolutely.
So I'm an educational psychologist, and I have this background in school psychology, school neuropsychology, and I am really passionate about helping kids understand their brains.
Specifically, I do a lot of assessment work.
So kids go through this entire assessment process, whether through their school or now that I'm a private project.
With me, and then they've done all the work, but then we turn around and talk to their parents and their teachers and all the adults.
And it just seems so important to talk to kids.
In my why, when I first went into private practice, my very first case, the parents asked if I would explain the testing results to their child.
And it was a big aha moment because after 10 years of practicing in the schools, nobody had ever asked me that before.
And so I prepared a lot.
I put together a bunch of materials, all kinds of hands-on visuals and a metaphor, sat down with the kid and said, I want to talk to you because we learned that you're dyslexic.
And his head went down to the table.
He started crying, ran out of the room.
