September is #DeafAwarenessMonth School Psychologists work to support all students. It is important to make our students feel valued and respected. Taking the time to understand each students unique strengths and differences can help achieve this #PascoProud#SchoolPsychStrong

April is #AutismAcceptanceMonth We support students with ASD across settings in Pasco County. We strive to accept and embrace the differences in our students. Shifting from a deficits approach to a strengths based view of our ASD students is crucial for supporting our students
Students may need to be taught, or need reminders to use, emotional management strategies. With older students, we can help gain buy-in by explaining why these strategies work. These are also helpful for adults! #PascoProud#EmotionManagement#SchoolPsychStrong

Kids and adults are dealing with an increased amount of stress. A child's behavior may be a reaction to stress rather than an act of defiance. Reframing the cause of a student's behavior can help us intervene more appropriately and get the child the help they need #traumainformed
As we get closer to Winter Break, keep in mind that the relationships we build with students have a lasting impact. We are doing important work and the students we work with appreciate everything we do for them! #PascoProud#SchoolPsychStrong
