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!
