Educational Diagnostician

• Jul 2022 - Present

Educational Diagnosticians assess students suspected of disabilities, and write formal reports based on data about the child. We facilitate ARD meetings and assist special and general educators to provide students with the appropriate education they deserve, based on assessments. We also maintain confidential files in regards to student information, communicate with parents, teachers and staff about decisions that could be made for the child; attend trainings throughout the year; and conduct staff development to inform our special education team and sometimes other staff members about updates in district and state level policies. Educational Diagnosticians often work with a team of other evaluators including School Psychologist, Occupational Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists, and other professionals depending on the needs of students.

Structured Behavior and Support Monitoring Teacher: Similar to the inclusion/resource teacher position, I was responsible for working collaboratively with a professional learning community of educators along with the other job duties; however, my data collection was geared toward making more immediate changes for students in response to their behaviors. I also had to work with teachers and parents to make sure that those changes were implemented quickly and with fidelity. Show less
