Update as a First Year School Psychologist

So, it's been about two months since my last post about my first year as a school psychologist.  It's hard to believe how quickly the school year is going by.  

Things I have learned so far:

Kids are awesome.

Testing isn't so bad--I have done 9 evals!

I could get used to the built in breaks and vacations :)

That being said, this is a challenging time of year in a school setting--this stretch between Thanksgiving and Christmas is an interesting time.  There is a unique energy and excitement buzzing throughout each of the buildings I am in.

Today I am attending the 4th of 5 sessions on special education processes--today's topic how disability affects involvement and process in general education.  As someone who is a person with a disability, I am uniquely tuned into how my experiences may impact this discussion.
