Today at CT LEND, we had the pleasure of hearing from three guest speakers. Melissa Bray, PhD, taught us about how school psychologists use assessments and help teams develop and monitor behavior support plans and Sara Renzulli, PhD shared how school counselors contribute to individualized education programs (IEPs) and the Section 504 process. Both are LEND core faculty from UConn’s Neag School of Education UConn Neag School of Education

Valerie Strange, OTD, MS, OTR/L, FNAP, from Quinnipiac University Quinnipiac University closed our session discussing the role of occupational therapists in helping those with disabilities across the lifespan participate in everyday activities.

Thank you for sharing collaborative strategies to use in practice!
