[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS sped teacher again. Eligibility testing always includes at least psychological testing (most typically a cognitive test such as the WISC V, plus any assessments relevant to the specific concerns of the team like CTOPP, Adhd rating scales, etc), and educational testing (done by a sped teacher most of the time) plus any related service testing (speech, PT, OT if relevant). At every APS elementary school there is one psychologist who usually isn’t there full time, sped teachers are pulling students to test when they would otherwise be servicing students, same with OT/PT/SLP. There aren’t people at any schools just hanging out twiddling thumbs. We’re all busy. The vast majority of a school psychologist’s job are eligibility, Re-eligibility, and evaluation planning meetings, doing the actual evaluations, and writing reports interpreting the assessment results to present at the meetings. They are busy and overworked.[/quote]

I’m sorry you have to read this thread sliming special education staff and their good faith efforts to serve students.  Please know there are plenty of us out there who know you are all turning yourselves inside out to help students, and are grateful for everything you do.[/quote]

Some are good and some are not. Some principals are blocking kids from being identified. Don't invalidate other people's lived experiences just because you're fortunate to have had a good experience. [/quote]

Could you say "lived experiences" three or four more times?[/quote]

14:26 here and that was the first time I commented, but ok. [/quote]
