The newly launched book is designed specifically for families who sense that something is not quite right with their child's learning, attention, language, emotional, behavioral, or social development, but are unsure of where to start. Often, parents are overwhelmed by the terminology and the steps required to secure support. Follow Your Gut helps parents understand when their child's struggles might warrant further investigation, acting as a resource for families actively seeking an autism adhd learning disabilities eval nyc.
Dr. Bensusan notes that she speaks daily with parents who know their child is struggling but have no idea where to begin. Families are often confused about how to request special education services, what an IEP or 504 Plan actually means, and the difference between a school psychoeducational evaluation and a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation. She authored Follow Your Gut to address the questions she answers consistently on consultation calls, providing New York parents with a practical guide they can turn to before, during, and after the evaluation process.
The book breaks down the components of IEPs, 504 Plans, school evaluations, Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs), and parent advocacy. It empowers parents to recognize early warning signs and teaches them how to ask focused, effective questions when dealing with school administrators and healthcare providers.
Through her Upper East Side private practice, Bensusan Psychological Services, Dr. Bensusan supports families through every phase of educational development. This includes working with older teenagers to ensure they receive appropriate college accommodations for higher education and standardized testing. For parents currently in the midst of navigating complex educational disputes with their school districts, Dr. Bensusan's practice is also experienced in providing comprehensive documentation and rigorous impartial hearing evals.
Ultimately, finding the right support should not feel like an insurmountable challenge. Whether a parent is just beginning to research a neuropsych eval nyc or is looking for a second opinion to better support their child, Follow Your Gut transforms concerns into a clear, actionable plan.
