Dr. Jennifer Oratio is a neuro-psychologist who has had her own private clinical practice since 2010 and has evaluated and helped hundreds of special needs students over the span of her career. Here, in conversation with Adam Dayan, NYC Special Education Attorney, Dr. Oratio demystifies the neuropsychological evaluation process and discusses the role of the neuropsychological report in identifying appropriate interventions for a special needs child. Dr. Oratio also illuminates the ways in which a neuropsychologist can be an advocate for the recommended programs or services at school district meetings and impartial hearings.
