SUMMARY:Spring Webinar 2025
DESCRIPTION:As leaders in school-based multidisciplinary teams\, school psychologists have played a significant role in\ndetermining educational disabilities. In this presentation\, Dr. Rebecca Resnik will cover issues related to\ndiagnoses associated with the results of school psychology assessments. She will cover how the Diagnostic\nand Statistical Manual (DSM-5) and the WHO’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding systems\nwork at a general level.

Dr. Resnik will\nalso provide an overview of practical factors to consider when making evidence-based diagnoses of Specific\nLearning Disabilities\, ADHD\, Intellectual Disability\, and Autism. Note that this course will feature case\nmaterial\, including copyrighted standardized test material. It should thus only be attended by those individuals\nwith appropriate qualifications (licensed or certified professionals and graduate students). \n  \nMPA members are eligible for our members’ price with a coupon code.  If you do not know the code please reach out to program@mspaonline.org

SUMMARY:Fall Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:Across the nation\, district and school leaders are shifting towards practices that are equitable\, fair\, and create favorable outcomes for students who have historically been marginalized. Many schools and district leaders\, educators\, practitioners\, and other key stakeholders still have questions about how to thoughtfully design systems that are equitable. Additionally\, many leaders and educators are wondering what tools and strategies promote equitable outcomes and how to utilize them. This session will help participants to understand how to use a strength-based approach to create the necessary conditions to ensure every student has the chance to succeed. Importantly\, this session will help you to understand how and where to get started. \n  \nNOTE: MSPA Members MUST be logged in to purchase event tickets
