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

Communicating assessment results in ways that parents and teachers can understand is so important so they can be included in problem solving. @SchoolPsychDCom shared this graphic to explain the domains of the WISC-V and WPPSI-IV in friendly terms! #SchoolPsychStrong #PascoProud

We are so excited to welcome back all of our students! Today is the start of an amazing school year and we cannot wait to see how all of our students learn and grow this year! #PascoSchools #PascoProud #SchoolPsychStrong #SchoolPsychology #firstdayofschool

May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth A reminder to all of us to take time to prioritize our own mental health and work together to end the stigma #PascoProud #EndtheStigma #MentalHealthMatters #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

February is #BlackHistoryMonth Deborah Peek Crockett, PhD, NCSP, served as the first African American president of the National Association of School Psychologists in 1997-1998. She supported social justice, multiculturalism, diversity, and equity issues throughout her career.

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

Some Dos and Don'ts of de-escalation. Little kids often deal with big emotions and how you react can make a huge difference #PascoProud #SchoolPsychStrong #BigEmotions

This week is #RedRibbonWeek Our schools have many fun activities planned for this week, but our main goal is to prevent the use/abuse of drugs among our students #PascoProud #SchoolPsychStrong

Today is #SpiritDay LGBTQ youth disproportionately face bullying and harassment because of their identities. Our students need us now more than ever and need to know that their safety (physical, mental, emotional) is our number one priority #PascoProud #stopbullying

The Mental Health Team planned an amazing Mental Health Symposium for our student services team! So grateful for the opportunity to remind us why we entered into this profession and to learn new techniques to support students and staff! #PascoProud #mentalhealth @pascothrives
