Planning for Extended School Year (ESY) raises several questions about what’s required, how students qualify, and how you can best advocate for your student and their unique learning differences. For our next meeting, the Committee for Special Education is delighted to welcome Michael Connolly, Supervising Partner of Special Education at the McAndrews Law Offices, and Maria Vetter, Advocate and Co-Founder of Raffaele & Associates, for an open discussion where you can hear from their experience and learn answers to these questions and more.

UNDERSTANDING THE NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION- OCT 29 2019
Many families of children with special learning needs have been told by a physician or other specialist that their child may benefit from a
neuropsychological or “neuropsych” evaluation. The goal of this
presentation is to give the audience an introduction to the field of
neuropsychology and describe the role of the neuropsychologist. Our
aims are to provide an overview of what the goals of such an evaluation
might be, what kinds of referrals we see, and what families can expect
from the evaluation process. We also aim to explain the differences and
similarities between a school-based evaluation and a private
neuropsychological evaluation. Our presenters have experience with
children with all types of medical, genetic, developmental and
psychiatric diagnoses and in both hospital based and private practice
settings. We will also include a panel of parents whose children have
been through the process of neuropsychological evaluation in order to
better understand the patient experience and perspective.
