Every year, the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) holds its Annual Convention, and we had the pleasure of being presenters and exhibitors.

Collaborative assessments might be the key to giving quality and legally sound psychoeducational evaluations during COVID-19 and beyond.

Rest assured, there is really important and useful information in every IEP, but translating that information into reality is not always intuitive.

Children crave consistency and predictability, and for the most part, they’re used to getting it at school. So how can busy parents compete? A little bit of advance planning can go a long way to minimize stress during the holiday season.

To school psychologists, it often feels like testing is used as the default solution for obstacles in special education. Is that always best for kids?

Have you heard the adage, “Do not listen with the intent to reply, but with the intent to understand”? It’s Communication 101. It’s simple, yet incredibly challenging. It’s easy to listen when all is going well, but when emotions run high and failure appears to be the next way stop on the horizon, listening to understand becomes a monumental task.

I called my mentor and cried. My mentor said to march right into the principal’s office and tell her there is no way I could do it. The principal smiled, said, “Yes you can,” and walked away.

You’ve taken your child to the doctor. You’ve communicated with the school. You’ve filled out a million forms. You’ve answered a million questions. Now, at the end of what feels like an excruciatingly slow process, you’ve been told that your child has a disability. Now what?
We see you working hard to be an effective champion for kids.

Director of Finance and Operations
Meet Kaari. Kaari has been with Psyched before it was officially Psyched Services, helping its founders turn the organization into a reality from January 2017. The company’s resident operations guru, Kaari has more than seven years’ experience, and received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from University of Texas at Austin and an M.S. in applied mathematics from Texas State University.
Here’s what she’d say about herself:
Best part about working with Psyched: I love the team I work with, and I genuinely care about the success of the company. I love that I can make my own hours, and I’m trusted to take initiative or make decisions.
Core personal values: Integrity and truthfulness – which to me is a “super value.”
What I find most rewarding about my role: When my team is successful. I’ve grown with the company and now oversee a department and a team, and it’s very rewarding when they’re successful and are happy in their jobs.
Most people would be surprised to learn: I’m currently training for a 262-mile river canoe race that starts in San Marcos, TX and ends in the gulf of Mexico: The Texas Water Safari.
Other things I’m Psyched about: Drumming, canoeing, comedy, gardening, sitting on patios and sipping mimosas with live music.
