“There are two purposes of an evaluation in my mind: preservation of self-esteem for the child and peace of mind for parents.”

Preschool assessment is a relatively untouched topic here on the podcast, but that changes with today’s episode! Dr. Stephanie Meyer is here to chat with me about her extensive work in assessing children under five years old. We cover a wide range of topics, from her general approach to testing all the way to specific measures that she uses. Here are a few other topics that come up during the discussion:

Why Stephanie doesn’t charge for missed testing sessions or late cancels
Contextual factors that could impact testing results
Why Stephanie loves the Feifer Assessment of Reading
The earliest that Stephanie diagnoses ADHD
