Today’s episode is Part 2 to our recent solo episode about English language learners. We are focusing on the bigger picture of language as only one part of a child’s entire cultural context affecting performance on all educational and neuropsychological evaluations. Join us to learn more from today’s guest!

Dr. Alexander Tan is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and supervisor at Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). His expertise is in the assessment of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents. He is an internationally recognized expert and frequent speaker about topics such as autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and mental health.

Show Highlights:

Dr. Tan’s background and how he came to the work he does today in private practice and at CHOC
Understanding language, cultural context, neurodiversity, and why there are limitations and problems with inappropriate assessment methods
Bilingualism—a multifaceted construct that always requires “digging deeper”
Dr. Tan’s experience with parents’ frustrations at evaluations that don’t show a fair and accurate representation of their child
A neuropsychological evaluation that is culturally and linguistically responsive can help avoid major risks.
ALL aspects of a child’s culture must be considered in evaluations, including language, nonverbal communication, values, economics, etc.
