Autism Diagnosis in the Context of Neuropsychological Evaluation: What to Expect from a Thorough Evaluation and Interpreting Results By: Dr. Natalie Noonan, Virtual Event via Zoom

Children on the Autism Spectrum often have complex neurodevelopmental profiles. This may include a wide range of strengths and weaknesses as well as additional diagnoses such as ADHD or Learning Disabilities. A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation is an important step in characterizing each child’s unique neurodiversity so their environment is optimized for them, and intervention can be individualized. Neuropsychological reports can be long and dense. In this talk you will learn what to expect and look for in a thorough neuropsychological evaluation when Autism is a component of the referral question and how to interpret the results from the report.

Last week for our Blue/Green day students participated in a Scavenger Hunt. 12 groups competed to find 64 clues hidden throughout the LPS campus. Team Blue Buffalo scored a perfect game with 64 correct answers-congrats on your unbelievable performance!

Shout out to Team Blue-Zilla for using their resources and finding a list of the Board of Directors on the website, and the Green Team Rovers for Googling a picture of a jar of baby food! Amazing creative thinking by the Team Blue Jaguars and the Silly Sevens Team for finding an adult wearing red who is also a student! Teams Green Gorillas, Green Slime, and Blue Jaguars win the safety prize for figuring out that the “lifesaver” clue was meant to be an AED, but we were delighted to find out how many people love lifesaver candies at LPS, so everyone got points for those too!

On Friday, February 3 & Monday, February 6 we are hosting virtual Parent/Teacher conferences. Please check your email for important information on how to sign up for conferences.

See you then!
