How do you complete the cognitive?

It would be totally awesome if you can post a video about working virtually in school psychology and everything involved in that.

13?? I freaking wish!!! I did 131 evaluations this year along with counseling and psych services caseload at 2 different elementary schools. It was my first year and I feel kind of ready to leave. Left that district and hoping my new district this upcoming year is much better or I will be completely leaving this field

Hi!! Would you be willing to share your Vineland template?

I am from Algeria I have a master’s degree in school psychology. Can I authenticate my degree and work abroad?

So happy to see another video from you! Out of curiosity, are you on contract(s) with schools for your virtual services or do you have your own school psych business? I also have ADHD so I would love love love to learn more about virtual services! I am currently in the daunting process of applying to grad schools for school psych.

What are some of your burnout prevention tips?(:

Queen posted! ❤

when you say you are a "virtual school psychologist" what does that exactly mean?

Love your videos! ✨

Vapid.

I just found your videos and am so happy I did! I am going into my first year of Ed.S in School Psych at Denver!

Thanks for this video! Just as a heads up the correct pronunciation for template is tem-pluht, not tem-playt. :) Anyway, I appreciate your info!

Hi! I deciding on on being a school social worker, I'm a caseworker right now at n outreach and tracking program and work at a group home once a week as well. What would you say is the main difference between the school social worker and school psychologist? (I plan on working with younger grades)

I have been slowly going through all of your videos, I start my program in the fall and came across your videos while researching one day. I knew I liked you but now I completely understand why lol I am a crafting girly, I want chickens when my hubs and I finally settle in a house again and I love working with kiddos. I am actually crocheting as I watch your videos today! Can't wait to see the office/craft room make over!

Just coming across this video. I’m contemplating whether I want to get my masters in school psych. However I’m just scared that this career is very limiting being that it’s so specific. Do you have any advice or input ?

Hi! Is there anyway to talk to you personally about becoming a school phycologist? I am debating it so hard and trying to learn as much as possible before I go back to school

Love this❤

Thank you this was very uplifting ❤

This is the second time I have watched this video and I wanted to say it has been super helpful. Vlog style videos for this purpose are best and you explained things well (for someone with a Bachelors level in psych looking to continue to a Masters level). I will probably end up watching this again if I do not pick a career path soon. THANK YOU. <3

Hello Amanda! Wow, thank you so much for this SUPER informative video! I am a mature student who, in spite of receiving praise from instructors when I actually did the work, I also bounced around into a few different majors since I moved to the US at 23 years-old from Brazil, where I was a psych major. The result: after 25 long years of experimenting without much support, I was finally diagnosed with pretty severe ADHD (and very possibly anxiety as well). I finally decided a couple years ago to come back to psychology and had neuropsychology as my main end goal (get the ADHD hint here, of an almost 50-yr-old considering applying for a program she has absolutely no experience in?). I took the courage to meet with a professor in school who was so careful not to discourage me, yet was skillful enough to suggest other options that won’t take 15 years of training (which would get me to my 60s when I am finally licensed) and we came up together to the field of school psychology. I will continue looking into it but I would just like to thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, and I hope that other great videos were made since this first one (I believe you made this last year) ❤ - Best, Gigi.

What contracting company do you work for? :)

How do you do FBA's as a virtual school psychologist?

Hi I’m in my third week of internship in California. I totally bought two planners too and got the hardcover school psych planner afterwards too. I totally love it. Yours is so much cuter though.

Started internship year! 🎉 wowww did I realize my organizational skills weren’t polished enough!

Thanks for sharing Amanda. I’m going into internship in California this communing up school year and am a little nervous. Do you have any suggestions or tips for inters?

You are so wholesome, and have a very clear logic. I've learned a lot about the job through your video and would think deeper about this career. Thank you.

How long do you spend on each part of your job? Such as how long are testing sessions for students?

Were you hired by like a third party company?

How do you observe students as a remote school psych? For brick and mortar, I am used to completing one social and one classroom observation for an eval. Also how do you take behavior data for an FBA remotely?

hi!!what is your caseload?

I know its different everywhere, but how does summer work for you? Do you still get paid, or do you have to find a side gig?

Scoring achievement tests is hard. I find it easier to do it immediately after each session rather than leaving it for when it is all ‘finished’.

I have the same issues around report writing and someone told me something that I TRY to remember but it is still an issue for me. That person said, “It’s better to have a pretty good FINISHED report that to have perfect reports in-process/overdue.”

Incoming intern here! I completely agree about reports being a complex situation to deal with. I’m definitely the most worried about taking the leap into writing all the reports necessary and wondering if they’ll be good enough. Grad school can’t prepare you enough for the real world! Do you have any tips for new/ intern school psys for their report writing and making it detailed enough yet still digestible?

I really appreciate how real and raw this video was. I am 24 and currently getting my associates in psych (I was undecided for a while so im starting from the bottom and working my way up). You inspired me to get my bachelors in psych and then masters in school psych! I am so inspired by your whole journey, the ups and the downs. Thank you so much for all that you do, you are doing amazing!

Thank you so much for being so open and transparent with pros and cons. It’s helpful to understand realistically what this career entails.

So interesting to hear about! Would love to hear even more about your day to day schedule!

Hello, my name is Andon, I want to be a school psychologist when I grow up and I am wondering if you would have time to coach a sport because it is my dream to be a school psychologist/wrestling coach?

I have an interview for a graduate program in School Psychology. I wanted to see what it's like. I loved your video!

Is your schedule similar to your schedule when you worked in person?

fellow virtual school psych here! :) what company is this?

Hi Amanda! I find this video to be very helpful! I’m still not sure if I want to be a school psychologist but I feel like I would like it I’m kind of shy and I think I’m worried that I won’t do good but I do have a question, what would you recommend I go into when I try to pursue when I start my school psych journey?

Hi! Thinking about going back to school for school psychology. Would really appreciate more info on what you do day to day if you’d be willing to chat!

Finishing up my first year in my program right now, and I never even knew this was an option! Defintiely good to know, thanks for the information!

Also keep up the fun and informative videos 🎉🎉🎉 We love them!!

Thank you for coming back 😀!! I am in the process of completing my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology👏🏻 from Arizona State University. I am inspiring to become the best school psychologist ever. Can you make a video where you give your personal past experience or what do you recommend for students who have the plan to getting into Grad school. I have really wasted to shadow or assist a SPsych. Or a pediatric Psychologist who has their own practice yet I don’t know where to start. Many school districts don’t allow outsiders to be at school but what could be some ways that we could get a feel of this beautiful field. Thank you! Greetings from sunny SD, CA

Hi! I’m a school psych student and I loved hearing you talk about the scores!

Hi everyone, hoping for some insight. I am a first-year student in a School Psychology program and am going back and forth on if this is the right path for me…. I want to work with kids but IQ testing (WISC, etc) does not interest me much, and I’ve heard that’s what I will be doing most of the time. I'm way more interested in the counseling side of things, which makes me think I should pursue an MSW instead… any insight on this would help me bunches, I’m so torn because I love my cohort and professors but I’m not big on cognitive assessments! Help!

This is so interesting to see a virtual school psych's role! I would love to hear more about how you do testing virtually. For example, how do you do the block design on the WISC?! Love your vids
