Some students qualify to receive extra support at school. These students are given an IEP or 504 plan. 504 plans provide accommodations. IEPs provide accommodations & specialized instruction. 🏫

However, only a fraction of kids who meet the criteria to be diagnosed with a disorder will qualify for a 504 plan. An even smaller subset of these kids will qualify for an IEP.

If your child does qualify for an IEP or 504, they will receive additional support at school for free.

If you are considering having your child evaluated, there are so many things to consider! One big decision is choosing if you are going to a school evaluation, a psychoeducation evaluation, or both.

Today Emily W. King, PhD and I go over the differences between school evaluations and psychoeducational evaluations, along with some of the benefits of each.

It’s easy to get caught up in our child’s grades or test scores. 📝

But it’s important to remember that the process is as important as the result. Kids need to try things, make mistakes, and learn from them. 📈

By helping our kids reflect on both their wins and losses, we build resilient and self-aware kids who can work through setbacks and achieve their goals. ⭐

This month, I’m focusing on a topic I always get questions about- ADHD evaluations!

But first, let’s talk about one important truth:
The name “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” or ADHD is a misnomer!
It implies that people with ADHD lack the ability to pay attention.
This is not true!

Instead, ADHD is characterized by difficulty regulating or directing one's attention.

Once you decide to have your child evaluated, the next question is, who should do the evaluation?

Finding the right fit for your child will ensure that you get an accurate and detailed evaluation that can be used to identify and access appropriate supports for your child.

If you are considering an evaluation, you may have questions about how it could help your child and what might come from it. There are a variety of ways that evaluation can benefit a child and their family. However, the benefits fall into three main categories:

Increased knowledge and understanding
Access to in-school supports
Access to out-of-school supports

Often negative labels come from a child not being understood. Evaluation is one tool we have to better understand a child and their experiences.

Evaluation describes and names what has been happening in a child’s brain and body all along. A diagnosis or identification of a disability does not change a child, but it can allow them to be better understood and supported.

About REACH

Morgan Beidleman is passionate about helping people reach their highest potential. She has spent more than 12 years working with children, parents, and teachers. Over the years Morgan has watched children struggle with behavioral and emotional issues, sometimes as a result of difficulties at school. Because of this, she has focused on developing social-emotional competencies for all children. She has developed individual behavioral plans, conducted behavioral assessments, led professional development around social-emotional competencies and de-escalation, and coached children, parents, and teachers. She has supported a broad range of children including those with learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders, autism, and cognitive delays. She has worked with more than 500 children and families through her work with families and schools. She specializes in supporting students who experience attention difficulties, impulsivity, anxiety, or depression in developing their social-emotional, literacy, and organizational skills. Using a strengths-based perspective, she helps develop her clients to become the best versions of themselves.

What makes us different?

Our work is completely tailored to the needs of your child in your setting. We work with families in their homes (virtually) and in their schools instead of discretely working on skills in an office space that is nothing like the environments children struggle in. We don’t work alone. We coordinate our efforts with parents, teachers, and providers, so that we can best meet the needs of your child. We integrate behavioral and social supports in with academic support. It’s not one or the other. It is both.
