Love this!

I am a current 1st year school psych grad student and I’ve learned so much from the podcast. I think it breaks down the complex issues well and it’s very well explained. Thank you for making this, to help educate more people about the hidden field of school psychology 😊

Such a helpful, enjoyable podcast!

Currently, in my internship year in grad school, this podcast has been incredibly useful in breaking down complex topics in school psychology. I've enjoyed the podcast guests, as well. It gives me hope that connecting online and learning from experienced school psychologists will support us students as we navigate this field during our early years.

10/10!!!

School Psych Finds has been helping me with my grad school journey! I like listening to episodes for job interviews to refresh my brain on how to explain specific topics better.
