This episode is a little departure from normal…instead of me interviewing someone or monologuing on a business topic, I’ve invited my friend and colleague, Dr. Andres Chou, to interview ME. It’s a true gift to have this broad conversation with Andres.
199. Conducting a Valid ADHD Assessment w/ Dr. Julie Suhr & Dr. Allyson Harrison
Do you include a PVT as part of your standard ADHD battery? If not, I bet you will after this episode! Drs. Julie Suhr and Allyson Harrison are here today talking through their research and experience with validity issues in ADHD assessment. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering if that young adult client REALLY has ADHD or if you should be considering other factors or diagnoses, this is the episode for you.
198. Transitioning from Therapy to Testing
I’ve spoken with so many consulting clients over the last few years who want to transition to an all-testing practice and stop seeing therapy clients altogether. The problem is that it’s REALLY hard to cut down a therapy caseload in many cases. Today’s episode is all about how to do so ethically and practically.
197. Evolution of Cognitive Assessment w/ Dr. W. Joel Schneider
Dr. Joel Schneider is here talking about the evolution of cognitive theory and assessment. I’ve been reading Joel’s blog for about 10 years now, and he is not only a great writer but a deep thinker and excellent storyteller. These traits are on full display during the podcast today as Joel takes us on a journey through the philosophical and practical history of cognitive theory.
196. Reaching Out to Referral Sources
So many podcast episodes are born from conversations with my consulting clients. This one is no exception. I’ve been asked so many times, “How do you make connections with potential referral sources?” We’re all told that “networking” is important, but what does that actually look like in real life? (Hint: call it “building relationships” instead). This episode is all about developing connections with other professionals, schools, and physicians.
195. Assessment for Gifted and Twice Exceptional Individuals with Dr. Aimee Yermish (Replay)
As a grown up gifted kid herself, Dr. Aimee Yermish definitely “gets it.” She coupled her lifetime of personal experience with a doctorate in psychology to build a highly successful practice working primarily with gifted and twice exceptional individuals.
194. Establishing a Consultation Group
Today’s episode is an attempt to answer a question that I get a lot from consulting clients and the Facebook group: how do you find a consultation group as a post-graduate clinician? I’ve benefited greatly from a few consultation groups over the years, and I recommend joining a consultation group as one of the pillars of building a practice.
193. Masterclass: Reading & Executive Functioning w/ Dr. Steve Feifer
Welcome to another Masterclass episode! If you missed the first one with Dr. Stephanie Nelson, definitely check that one out. Today my guest is Dr. Steve Feifer, developer of the Feifer family of academic measures. We’re talking all about reading disorders and executive functioning.
192. Form Publisher w/ Dr. Rebecca Murray-Metzger
Everyone wants to streamline their report-writing process, right?? If you’ve ever wished that you could cut down the time spent writing your history, this is the episode for you. You may have seen Dr. Rebecca Murray-Metzger’s posts in the Testing Psychologist Community about her utilization of software called Form Publisher. If not, that’s okay – she’s here today to explain everything about Form Publisher. We talk about what it is, what it does, and how it can help us as testing psychologists.
191. Pediatric Diagnostic Interviews
Today’s episode is an excerpt from a recent presentation that I gave to the Group for Rural Internship Training (GRIT) on pediatric assessment. This particular excerpt focuses on the diagnostic interview portion of the evaluation.
