Terms like dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia have been used more frequently within our school settings. How comfortable are you discussing these terms with families and staff members? Let’s discuss some of my go-to tips! ✨🏫

When parents and teachers suggest students be evaluated for dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia, the first step is to clarify the definition used. Ask for concrete examples of the student’s struggles to help determine the reason for referral. 📚🔍

Once our reason for referral is clear and we forward into the assessment process, school psychs need to know what goes into reading, writing, and math success. Are there skills that are innate to their learning? Are there skills that need to be explicitly taught? 📝🧠📊

How can school psychs discuss dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia in their reports? Near the end of your report is where you discuss eligibility for special education, the definition of a specific learning disability, and the SLD identification model. Right before this is where I like to synthesize all of the findings from the comprehensive assessment and where it makes sense to me to talk about dyslexia or the other terms. 📑💡📊 Read the full blog: link in bio

👋 Hello to our fantastic community! 🌟 To all

👋 Hello to our fantastic community! 🌟 To all our newcomers, it's a joy to reintroduce myself and extend a warm welcome to each of you. I'm Jenny Ponzuric, and I'm absolutely delighted to have you join our circle! 🤗

Here's a glimpse into my background and the passions that drive me:

🔹 Licensed School Psychologist
🔹 Advocate for Education
🔹 Special Education Consultant
🔹 Committed to Empowering Students

Over the past 20 years, my journey has revolved around empowering students facing unique challenges in their educational paths. As a school psychologist, an educator at the university level, and a collaborator with special education teams, I'm dedicated to offering guidance, coaching, and training to educators who play a pivotal role in shaping the lives of those who need it most. 📚🎓

Having worked as an administrator in a county-wide program for teacher support services, I've had the privilege of assisting special education teachers in their credential attainment and professional growth. Teaching across various colleges and universities in Southern CA, I've had the incredible opportunity to share my expertise in behavior management, literacy strategies, and the intricacies of IDEA regulations.

But my journey is ongoing! Driven by a passion for learning, I pursued a post-graduate certificate in School Neuropsychology, enhancing my capacity to understand and cater to the unique needs of students.

My mission is simple yet powerful: to equip you with invaluable resources, insights, and unwavering support in your vital roles as school psychologists and special education professionals. Let's foster a vibrant community where we learn, evolve, and collectively create positive ripples of change for the students we serve. 🌈💪

Let's infuse our connections with personality and embark on this incredible journey together, united by our shared dedication to transforming lives through education. 🤝✨
