School psychologists are in the important position of being navigators for parents of children with Autism to when they need it the most, and importantly, over time, as their child's needs change.

In this 22-minute coffee chat, I sit down with Dr. Bryna Siegel, director of the Autism Center of Northern California and author of The Politics of Autism (among many other books on educating kids with Autism). She answers your burning questions about Autism assessment, including:

02:30: What do we do when parent and teacher ratings on scales of Autism behaviors are not consistent with one another?

07:44: What is “High Functioning Autism” and how can you tell the difference between HFA and other disorders that overlap in symptoms (e.g. OCD, Anxiety)

10:13: Is the ADOS the “gold standard” of assessing Autism?

12:17: Is inclusion the least restrictive environment for students with Autism?

18:31: What is the school psych’s superpower in supporting students on the Autism Spectrum?
