An estim. 5.4 mil. youth use AI for MH support currently, largely bc support is inaccessible or because of stigma or both. Yet the grand plan by the @APA as recently as last yr was 2 create a 2 day exam & charge prospective #psychologists out the nose 2 take it. Let that sink in

Recently, I had the opportunity to talk to a reporter from https://t.co/lzQxOlBlA6 regarding #schoolpsychology, #MTSS, growing up with #disabilities, and efforts to help all #learners succeed in #education and advance our field.

@Dr_Faustino @TheDailyShow He is a putz and a weak leader.

@licifefe @APA @apa who are the laws you speak of benefiting most? Sadly, your organization has never supported any minority. You change your tone and colors with the wind to suit any party in office rather than take a stand on matters.

[Gary E. Schaffer, PhD @GE_Schaffer]

@licifefe @APA I can't even pretend to be surprised as the @apa is the lowest of any professional association. What I am surprised by is that folks still throw money into this organization and join as members in light of years of open racism, ableism, and assaults on the LBGTQ community.

@ADerron2Remembr @PabloVidalRibas Very familiar! This is a widespread problem now. Unfortunately, the publishers have pushed academia to a point where the Journal review process is gridlocked. In some capacity, they need to be reimbursement for time it takes to review a manuscript or offer some type of comp

@J_RachelleM @DisabledStem @DisabledInPsych Ah you already recognize me Rachelle ha! However, do stay into touch.

[Gary E. Schaffer, PhD @GE_Schaffer]

@TheBlackSPs Just told one of my students about your great work. Highly encouraged them to become involved and provided them information on how to reach out. Will continue to notify students of the great and needed work this organization does!

[Gary E. Schaffer, PhD @GE_Schaffer]

All #schoolpsychology programs need to make their students aware of the eugenics movement, Willowbrook State School, and what it took to pass section 504. These historical pillars should be integrated into students learning, along with some others I am probably missing here.

[Gary E. Schaffer, PhD @GE_Schaffer]

@jkellyphd @Dr_Faustino I miss him! Hope all is well with you folks!

[Gary E. Schaffer, PhD @GE_Schaffer]

2 yrs ago this book was released through @Sage_Publishing. I have met & heard from so many great #schoolpsychologists, #teachers, & #schooladministrators because of it.

On this final day of #disabilitypridemonth, the study on the workplace experiences of school psychs is almost done. Results show that a majority of #schoolpsychologists w disabilities experience oppression in the workplace. Learn more about DISPP here: https://t.co/7y38yXoIXq

[Gary E. Schaffer, PhD @GE_Schaffer]

Although it is #DisabilityPrideMonth , #psychologists and #schoolpsychologists should realize that the Supreme Court ruling legalizing the forced sterilization of people w #disabilities has never been overturned and still stands (Buck v. Bell, 1927). We must do better.
