147: From Medical Reports to Everyday Support — with Dr. Jennifer Linton Reesman, PhD, ABPP

Feeling overwhelmed by neuropsychological evaluations, audiology reports, or conflicting advice from doctors and schools?

In this empowering episode, Dr. Jennifer Linton Reesman—board-certified clinical and pediatric neuropsychologist and Director of Neuropsychology Training at The Chesapeake Center—shares how families can translate complex medical findings into practical, everyday strategies. Learn how to bridge the gap between health and education systems, strengthen collaboration with school teams, and center your child’s unique voice, including for D/HH learners and families using ASL. Calm, doable steps for parents of neurodivergent children—without the burnout.

Three Key Takeaways

1. Start small: Begin with the report’s summary or recommendations and choose one to three priorities to focus on.
2. Bridge the silos: Identify a single point person—at school or in the clinic—so communication flows and teams truly share information.
3. Trust, then verify: Keep a simple home log of dates and notes to see what’s actually working for your child.
