Resources for School Psychologist

Items and resources I use to improve the lives of students, teachers, and parents.

 

Excellent comprehensive resource

Provides lesson plans for counseling students with behaviors from:

  • Trauma

  • ADHD

  • Autism

  • Depression

  • Conduct Disorder

I often reference this when writing behavior support plans.

 

Understand how to assess for autism

Using surveys and the ADOS is only the start. This book explains the “ins and outs” of autistic assessment. A wonderful resource for legally compliant psycho-educational reports.

 

Create and modify PDF

The adobe reader does not allow you to edit PDFs. Acrobat allows editing and the creation of forms. You can also scan documents and use Acrobat’s optical character recognition to make documents searchable for keywords. Great for reviewing those thick files.

Great SST resource

These are perfect for Student Study Team pre-referral interventions. Also a “go to” resources for school psychologists when a teacher or parent asks for suggestions.

 

Work like its fun

For you or the teacher who returns surveys in a timely manner, these mugs are great. Click on the mug for the funniest report card comments perfectly illustrated with stick people.

My favorite impulse control resource

Teaching impulse control to ADHD students has never been more fun.

 
 

Help them explain their feelings

Every psychologist and counseling office should have this poster and use it regularly.

Finally some guidance

Every psychologist should create their own template. However, that template must be legally compliant. Here is how.

Must have

About 85% of students in special education qualify under SLD. This provides methods and directions to ensure legally defensible psycho-educational reports.

 

Understanding ADHD

An insightful account on what ADHD is and is not. Critical for parents and anyone who has not studied the impact of ADHD.

 

Complete resource for dyslexia

I cannot stress the importance and usefulness of this book to school psychologist especially in CA where assessing for dyslexia is our responsibility.
