Psychoeducational Testing- What Does It All Mean!!!
Very often parents sit with psychologists, speech and language pathologists, educational specialists, etc. and listen to the results of their child’s evaluation. They often walk away with a report and after reading it several times, have no clue what it all means or what should happen now.  This workshop will help parents understand the basic elements of an evaluation and gain an understanding of what all the numbers mean, so they can become better advocates for their child.
