Assessments and Intervention Ideas from the Regional Networking Reception in

Beaver Creek

During the Regional Networking Reception at CSSP’s Fall Conference in Beaver Creek, attendees were asked to share intervention/assessment ideas. These were all gathered by region (to help you to track specific interventions/assessments down in the case that these may be shared within regions) to then share with members via website and newsletter.

The purpose of this activity was to give you some ideas of what is out there as well as to get attendees together by region. A lot of good information was shared that will hopefully be helpful to you in your practice as school psychologists working with “Kids at the Top”-and all of the kids that you serve. We hope to see you at the Regional Networking Reception in 2012.
