Description: Twenty percent of students experience a significant pediatric illness during their academic career. Although the Pediatric Illness Classroom Survey (PICS) promotes defensible Section 504, OHI and TBI identification, it can accomplish far more in the hands of school psychologists. This is because teacher-completed PICS offers precise insights into the uniqueness of each classroom problem, sets the stage for supports, and captures baseline and follow-up evidence to determine success. This workshop helps school psychologists expand their role while benefiting students easily misunderstood and often underserved.
Workshop Objectives:
1. Participants will learn the classroom expressions of several pediatric illnesses.
2. Participants will learn how to advocate for appropriate supports within Section 504 and IDEA using PICS results.
3. Participants will learn how PICS can facilitate monitoring of interventions and supports.
