Two early career school psychologists, Adriana Valdes, LSSP and Jacy Warren, LSSP, give us a behind-the-scenes look at how the pandemic played out in the schools.

We tackle some real brain teasers: How will COVID impact academic expectations, disability evaluations, special education eligibility decisions, and access to school-based academic support and mental health services? 

If your kid is school-aged or if you work in a school, you’ll find some good food for thought in this one. 

And if you’ve ever considered a career helping kids, this episode will give you the inside scoop on being a real, live school psychologist.
