Jennifer Wallace on Mattering in a Modern World
In large and small ways, mattering is essential. Self esteem depends on our ability to contribute to the lives around us. You may know Jennifer B. Wallace from her stints on morning television or her journalism in the Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. She and Kelly discuss her first book: Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic\u2014And What We Can Do About It.\n\n\nPlease note: In this episode, Kelly and Jennifer discuss the high cost of having a child see a private neuropsychologist for an evaluation. However, every\xa0parent/guardian is legally entitled\xa0to refer their child to Special Education.\xa0 Schools typically have a procedure in place.\xa0 For example: the parent(s) might need to meet with the principal and psychologist to discuss building level interventions.\xa0If the parent decides to go through with the referral, the school has 45 school days to complete an evaluation and determine eligibility - if the child has a disability that\xa0adversely impacts their learning the child is classified and an IEP is created.\xa0 Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) guarantees\xa0access to all.\n\n \n \nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\n \n Learn more about your ad choices.
