As school psychologists, we have the critical task of evaluating students and making recommendations that directly impact their educational and personal development. Crafting a psychological report is more than just a routine task; it’s an opportunity to make a real difference in a student’s life. One size does not fit all when it comes to recommendations, and the importance of tailoring these to each student’s unique needs cannot be overstated. Here are ten ways to ensure your recommendations are as effective and individualized as possible.
4Engage Parents in the Process
Parents play a crucial role in implementing recommendations. Ensure that your suggestions are feasible for parents to carry out at home. Provide clear, straightforward instructions and consider the family’s resources and constraints. Engaging parents not only supports the student but also fosters a collaborative approach.
