You’re a communication expert. Why is it often so challenging to communicate productively with colleagues and parents? Because you’re human, and effective communication, like any other acquired skill, must be explicitly learned. We will identify strategies to foster colleague interactions and discuss simple skills to resolve adversarial situations. Join us as we discuss proven and productive relationship-building approaches that help communication-savvy individuals collaborate more effectively with others.

56. Hi Scott, Mar14
I tested a bilingual child for LD and he did not qualify
but his scores for Oral Expression and Listening
Comprehension were in the 50s. We had an ARD and
decided that you should probably work with him to see
if the teacher concerns are related to low language.

The ARD was on February 5th so do you think you can
have testing done by April 4th?

60. Great, Mar17
I just tested three bilingual kindergarteners.
Two of them didn’t qualify but the teachers are
still concerned. At their IEP meetings tomorrow
I will sign them up for LD testing and send them
your way.
Have an Amazing Day!
Scott
