    566. Autism Mini-Series: A Review of the ADOS-2
    Apr 6 2026
    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. I remember being trained on the original ADOS back in grad school, and even though the ADOS-2 has been out for over a decade now, we are still constantly learning about where it shines and where it kind of falls short. In this episode, I’m digging into the actual numbers behind the instrument, from its 90% sensitivity to the much more complicated reality of its specificity, especially when we’re working with clinical populations like ADHD or anxiety. I’m also tackling the “compensation paradox” and the very real data showing how the ADOS-2 might be under-identifying females and people of color. It’s a nuanced look at a tool we use every day, and I think it’s a necessary conversation if we want to move toward more equitable, accurate assessments. 00:35: The history of the ADOS and its evolution into the current “gold standard”02:21: Breaking down the five modules and how language level dictates administration05:40: Sensitivity vs. Specificity: What the meta-analyses actually tell us about accuracy08:25: The false positive problem and the predictive limitations of “Autism Spectrum” classifications11:11: Why the ADOS-2 should never supersede clinical judgment in a comprehensive battery12:45: Differential diagnosis challenges with ADHD, social anxiety, and language disorders15:30: The “Compensation Paradox” in high-functioning and low-support needs individuals18:49: Data on sex differences and why the algorithm might be biased against female presentations21:13: Addressing racial bias and the limitations of a tool validated primarily on white samples Cool Things Mentioned Craft: the premier membership community for testing psychologistsCrafted Practice: the only in-person business retreat for testing psychologistsReverb: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologists Featured Resources TherapyNotes is the leading EHR system for mental health practitioners.

  • 565. The Assessment Practice Audit

    565. The Assessment Practice Audit
    Mar 30 2026
    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how easy it is to let the “drift” happen in a testing practice. You start with these great clinical intentions and a solid business plan, but then a few months go by, the schedule gets packed, and suddenly you’re just trying to keep your head above water. This episode is really meant to be a 90 day reset to help us stop and look at the data before we get too far off track. I walk through a four part audit covering clinical quality, financial health, our tech stacks, and our operational flow. I’m doing these same checks in my own practice right now because I’ve realized that if we aren’t measuring these things, we can’t actually manage them, and I’d much rather catch any issues now than a year down the road. Main Topics 01:05: Performing a clinical audit by reviewing battery architecture and front loading high demand tasks02:22: Monitoring the validity chain and adhering to the AACN and NAN two failure rule03:32: Moving beyond the “score dump” to focus on narrative synthesis and a one page roadmap05:25: Conducting a financial health audit by measuring administrative to clinical time ratios06:42: Calculating your real hourly rate by accounting for overhead and total hours worked07:14: Benchmarking profit margins for solo versus group practices and monitoring labor to revenue ratios08:48: Executing a technology audit including BAA verification and data sovereignty checks11:24: Evaluating data security through “leak tests” and moving toward portal only report delivery13:01: Running an operational friction test to measure the referral to feedback timeline Cool Things Mentioned The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consultingReverb: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologists Downloads The Practice Audit Checklist Featured Resources TherapyNotes is the leading EHR system for mental health practitioners.

  • 564. Cybersecurity and Data Sovereignty

    564. Cybersecurity and Data Sovereignty
    Mar 27 2026

    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here.

    Staying on top of the legal side of things is a huge pain, but we are at a point where keeping up with these digital shifts is just a core part of running a practice. In this episode, I’m walking through the 2026 HIPAA Security Rule updates and what they actually mean for you on a day-to-day basis. We’re moving away from the old “addressable” safeguards into a world where everything is mandatory, from multi-factor authentication to specific 72-hour data recovery rules. I also dig into the concept of data sovereignty, which is really just a fancy way of saying who actually controls your client data, and how to spot red flags in those long terms of service agreements that none of us ever want to read. My goal is to help you build a simple vetting process for your software so you can focus on the clinical work without worrying that your data is leaking into a global AI training model.

    Main Topics

    • 00:38: The 2026 HIPAA Security Rule update and the end of addressable safeguards
    • 01:12: Mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements for all systems
    • 02:20: The 72-hour recovery rule for clinical data and vendor contract obligations
    • 03:25: Updating Business Associate Agreements (BAA) for AI-specific clauses
    • 04:15: Defining data sovereignty vs. data residency and why control matters
    • 07:45: A three-point vetting checklist for clinical software and AI tools
    • 09:12: Red flag phrases to look for in Terms of Service agreements
    • 11:35: Cross-state compliance and the impact of the Delete Act on practice inventory

    Cool Things Mentioned

    • The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consulting
    • Reverb: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologists
