Cultural Competencies
I have extensive experience working with culturally and linguistically diverse K–12 students and families. My practice has included working across languages and cultures, using qualified interpreters when appropriate for interviews, psychological and behavioral assessment, test administration, and communicating evaluation results through debriefings. I consider cultural, linguistic, developmental, family, and community context when interpreting assessment information and formulating risk. My experience includes working with minors and adolescents and collaborating with families, schools, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure that cultural and linguistic factors are appropriately considered in assessment and intervention planning.
