Past Events

A Look Back at Our April Event

We were pleased to offer a 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,” offered 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 explored how to approach conversations about assessments with families.
