Manage episode 363445496 series 1836483
If you're a parent or caregiver of a child with neurodevelopmental differences, you know how important it is to have a clear understanding of your child's eligibility for educational and treatment plans. With so many questions surrounding eligibility evaluations, it can be overwhelming to navigate the process. As we continue with our series of shows about eligibility, we are here to help with an information-packed conversation!
We are excited to be joined by Dr. Jayme Jones, a pediatric neuropsychologist who has maintained a private practice in CA since 1995. Her background is extensive in the assessment and treatment of preschool and school-aged children with a variety of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, and she provides regular trainings on many related topics. In this episode, she sheds light on some of the trends she's seeing and helps provide clarity on the confusing subject of eligibility and assessments. You’ll hear her take on pandemic deficits, the conflict of interest in many school districts, and what it takes to get the support your child needs.
Show Highlights:
- What the biggest challenges are in getting students qualified for assistance
- Why the pandemic cannot be blamed for ALL the learning deficits
- What the difference is between IEP assessments and school assessments
- Why individual scores are more important than aggregate scores
- Why there is often a conflict of interest between school personnel in your IEP meeting and school administrators
- How some school districts are doing it right
- Dr. Jayme’s advice to parents about being supportive AND being their child’s advocate
- Why standardized tests are used for non-standard students
- Why parents need to let their children fail
- Why parents should prioritize a comprehensive evaluation for their child (sooner, rather than later) and hire advocates and attorneys when possible
