Show Notes

I often hear from parents:

"My child’s teacher has recommended my son / daughter have an assessment to understand their behaviors a bit more. I’m not sure how I feel about this. I think a label will hurt them long-term and I don’t want them to be treated differently."

In this clip, I share my thoughts on this and provide some guidance around WHY an assessment may or may not be helpful.

 I hope it helps!
