This week, we have the privilege of engaging in a conversation with Beyond the Spectrum’s school psychologist, Dr. Valerie Roth. Together, we delve into recommendations and insightful tips tailored for both educators and parents. Dr. Roth not only sheds light on essential information for parents navigating the dynamics of a public school setting but also provides us with self-regulation techniques designed specifically for neurodivergent students.
Dr. Roth also introduces the Community Insight Series, an enriching monthly meeting hosted at Beyond the Spectrum. This series features seasoned professionals who will cover various topics, offering guidance and addressing the unique needs of individual parents. One common example the Community Insight Series will cover is “how to navigate a dinner outing with your student." This initiative aims to create a supportive space for parents seeking practical solutions and a deeper understanding of their child's neurodiversity.
Dr. Valerie Roth is a certified and licensed school psychologist in the state of Florida. She has her Doctorate in Psychology with a specialty in School Psychology. Dr. Roth is also an adjunct faculty member of Nova Southeastern University, teaching graduate level school psychologists about academic assessments. Currently, Dr. Roth is a part-time contractor for various school districts alongside Children's Psychological Solutions, and has 10 years of experience.
