Podcast on Discipline and Behavior

Behavior, Young Children, & IEPs: A Conversation with Advocate Sandra Fitzpatrick

 I was recently interviewed by Christie White, pictured above, on the topic of Discipline and Behavior.  We discussed what to do if your child is struggling at school with behavior -- how to take the emphasis off of discipline and onto identifying the lacking skills that are manifested as "behavior."  Once we can identify the lacking skills, we can teach those skills and affect real and positive change.   To listen to the interview/podcast go to:

Christie is an advocate located in Eastern Mass, who also trained to be an advocate with the Federation for Children with Special Needs.  Christie has also interviewed Dr. Karen Postal, a neuropsychologist and co-author of the book, Feedback That Sticks: The Art of Effectively Communicating Neuropsychological Assessment Results.  In the interview with Christie, Dr. Postal discusses the role and purpose of neuropsychological evaluations.
