Great turnout for my #AI workshop National Association of School Psychologists annual convention. We covered various AI engines with special focus on mitigating bias and exploring research AI.
Had a wonderful time discussing the impact of #AI in providing psychological services in the schools #MCIU Office of Student Services last week. Great turnout!
After driving in typical midwestern January weather, I arrived in Peoria, IL. Had a great time presenting Illinois School Psychologists Association (ISPA) winter conference and catching up with colleagues. Two presentations with a focus on AI and Telehealth.
Neither cold, air travel, or other issues shall dissuade me from finishing up my fall speaking engagements. After cancel my in-person presentation, LSPA showed incredible flexibility and I was able to present on #AI in #schoolpsychology. Small victories!
In 2021, the government made federal tax credits for families raising children more widely available and generous.

Kept the #AI in #clinicalpsychology trainings rolling. Presented to the PsyD graduate students and faculty at @easternkentuckyu.bsky.social.
Got too busy to remember my memento photo op! Did the training happen if I didn't document it?
New article highlighting a recent #JAMA finding that early tween social media use related to decreases in cognitive functioning. @edweek.org wrote up a good article summarizing those findings that I chimed in on.

I have been keeping the #AI presentations rolling with my local presentation to the Southeast South Central co-op in London, KY with a lot of my former #schoolpsychology students. So good to see everyone as it has been years since I have seen them.
Enjoyed presenting at Newport News Public Schools about the use of AI in #schoolpsychology and #socialwork. At some point I will get better at taking selfies.
Interviewed with Samantha Valentino at @wkyt.com about student #grief reactions of teens after a horrific murder. #violence #adolescent

Enjoyed seeing everyone at #KAPSCon25 and being back in my home state for a presentation on #certification, #licensure, #PSYPACT, and the new school psychology pact. Lots of interest. #schoolpsychology

I enjoyed remotely joining Colorado Department of Education for their Landscape of Wellbeing conference to discuss the digital influence on #Adolescence #wellbeing and #behavior. So important for teachers to recognize behaviors associated with screen use.

Big present for young kids at start of 2026 regarding Sesame Street. It's posting hundreds of full episodes to YouTube. Great for preschool lessons and school counselors discussing #socialskills. I still love Grover explaining near and far! #schoolpsychology

“Impossible tradeoffs” await districts as Medicaid cuts shift healthcare costs to states, impacting services for students most in need.
While #AI #chatbots have a lot of potential therapeutically, it is the wild west out there and the public is getting harmed. Kudos to American Psychological Association for voicing concern. #schoolpsychology #mentalhealth

Bravo for at least half the states to have an #AI policy for schools and putting in some guardrails on how to use this #technology.

#chatgpt just released Study Mode further muddying educators efforts on coming up with a solid #AI policy. It is promising but too easy to switch to the regular answer it for me mode. Too tempting to go easy route even for students who are trying to learn the content.

American Psychological Association does a good job here with #EthicalAI guidance for using #AI in clinical practice. Simple and straightforward on the main issues to consider. #schoolpsychology

Related on teens use of #AI #chatbots as companions from Common Sense Media raise valid concerns. From developmental perspective, what happens when chatbot relationships influence expectations with human relationships? More discussion is needed.

Interesting survey about how students are using #AI. While institutions fumble along creating policies, #students are forging ahead with no guidance and all of the positive and negative implications that go with it. #schoolpsychology #chatbot #mentalhealth
