Join us this April

We’re pleased to offer our upcoming Professional Learning event, led by Emily Johnson, a credentialed school psychologist from California specializing in multicultural school psychology and consultation.
 
This session, “Understanding Learning Differences: An Introduction to Psychoeducational Assessments,” offers a practical introduction to psychoeducational assessments: what they are, what insights they provide into a student’s learning profile, and when it may be helpful to consider one. We’ll also explore how to approach conversations about assessments with families.
 
The event is available both in person and online. Whether you’re nearby or joining from afar, we’d love to have you participate.
