mindmovers.us With decades of experience as school psychologists in MI, UT and now AZ schools, we are supporting parents and gifted and special needs children.

Welcome to MindMovers.US, a knowledge sharing community. As a parent, have you ever wondered if your child is “different”? The good news is you are right. Everyone is different. A mission of MindMovers.US is to demystify and celebrate differences, as the gifts that enrich all of our lives. In 1975, Congress passed Public Law 94-142 (Education of All Handicapped Children Act), now codified as IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. ) At MindMovers.Us, an AZ Certified School Psychologist will help you navigate the education system to advocate for your child’s specific needs. Congress protected the rights of all children to a free appropriate public education (FAPE). Together you will understand what potential areas of specially designed instruction your child may be eligible to receive through assessment in IDEA areas of eligibility such as Autism, Gifted, Other Health Impaired, (including ADHD), Specific Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, Cognitive, and Emotional Disabilities.

"Did you know around a third of the deaf and severely hard of hearing community deal with low literacy? Reading is not an easy skill to learn when so much of its basics rely on the study of sounds. That’s where American Sign Language (ASL) comes in. The visual language helps bridge the language barrier for deaf communities, yet it’s closed captioning that is more readily available on streaming services like Disney+. With that, the streamer -- along with Marvel Studios -- gave ASL speakers an exciting gift -- a version of a Marvel Cinematic Universe film that utilizes the language.

It's a small (but great) step forward.

Parents CHILD FIND Alert: SPECIAL EDUCATION LAW update Washington D.C. Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), March 12, 2023.

OSEP reminds state educational agencies and LEAs that the Part B regulations allow a parent to request an initial evaluation at any time to determine if a child is a child with a disability under IDEA.

Truth is, that most kids lose things from time to time.
Experts also agree that a child, who loses things constantly, may have a learning problem or disorder such as ADD or ADHD. If you notice that they are flighty or disorganized in other aspects of their life, and constantly lose things – talking to your pediatrician may be a good idea.
