Come along with me on a Monday as a school psychologist. Watch until the end for some of my important thoughts about being hard on yourself as an educator, and for a realistic day in the life as a psych
So happy to see another video from you! Out of curiosity, are you on contract(s) with schools for your virtual services or do you have your own school psych business? I also have ADHD so I would love love love to learn more about virtual services! I am currently in the daunting process of applying to grad schools for school psych.
13?? I freaking wish!!! I did 131 evaluations this year along with counseling and psych services caseload at 2 different elementary schools. It was my first year and I feel kind of ready to leave. Left that district and hoping my new district this upcoming year is much better or I will be completely leaving this field
Hello! So I essentially am a telehealth provider , I work from home and provide services online (including evaluations, consultation, meetings, observations, mental health support, crisis support, etc)
@@etamommy nope, I use software that has been tested and shown to be effective to not impact outcomes when given virtually and with an in person proctor who is trained and facilitates materials
@@AmandaEdS Thanks for the reply Amanda. I am in the field and that is fascinating! Give yourself a pat on the back for being able to do such assessments in that fashion. That sounds tricky to me but during impacts of Covid -19 and distance learning we did some similar things. For initial assessments though we sometimes needed to gather some information in person and so some delays were necessary on those until parents were able to bring students in often masked to do one to one in person assessment.
@@etamommy yes definitely! I would said there are many arguments to be made and I also was confused when I first started but now I see how effective it CAN be when done right and with fidelity. I think the best power of telehealth practice is being able to provide services to rural districts who are unable to retain in person psychologist - so students are going without a lot of much needed support
