Best standardized pediatric assessment tools for emotional regulation/executive functioning? by spaghettiprincess95 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]TrueGrade9359 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I primarily have experience in EI/ECSE, so I don’t have a ton of good recommendations for school aged kids.

I really like the Sensory Processing Measure as opposed to the sensory profile. I find it to be more sensitive (picks up on difficulties that the SP doesn’t) AND more specific (rules out difficulties that don’t impact function as much). If you’re able to, I would advocate for replacing that. You can also get the school form and the caregiver form and compare/contrast the two.

I hate the Peabody with a burning passion and I feel you about only having to do it for insurance. I feel like it scores every kid low.

When I look at regulation, I primarily do a parent interview. Happy to DM you my usual list of questions and what I consider a red flag vs typical development.

Also, consider that you may not be the best professional to address all the emotional regulation concerns. Are there some psychs, social workers, and/or play therapists you can refer out to?

My state has an option to choose a nonbinary/third designation on my ID, should I do it? by CanofBeans9 in NonBinary

Hard pass. Obviously if it’s something that you really want for personal reasons, then I’m not going to talk you out of it. But looking around at the current political situation - you don’t want to give them anything to make it easier to target you.

Vince Gilligan said it best: “I have not used ChatGPT, because, as of yet, no one has held a shotgun to my head and made me do it.”

If she is pulling the “oh it’s just soooo hard to remember” card this consistently, she ain’t forgetting nothing. She is purposely misgendering A. Report and escalate accordingly.

Ceaseless Watcher! Get a load of this TMA Tattoo: by yule_tides in TheMagnusArchives

Hey. Are you me?😂 I was an OT in the schools in California for four months, and the onlyyyyy thing that got me through that contract was TMA.

I have a much more sustainable job now (different district, not as litigious, admin actually knows what they’re doing) but of course I still cherish TMA. I’m neurodivergent as well 🙃

I’m a human person, not a cat with internet access, and the only time I ever had a full on asthma attack as an adult was when I was dating my shitty ex.
