We traded assessment tools for puzzle clues this afternoon!

To celebrate the end of the training year, our practicum students and supervisors headed to Escapology Pasadena for an afternoon of teamwork and problem solving.

We’re grateful for the curiosity, dedication, and growth our trainees bring to Insight Collective each year. Thank you for being part of our learning community. Here’s to a well deserved summer and the next step in your professional journey!

What happens when symptoms are real, but medical testing doesn’t provide a clear explanation?

This week, our graduate students had the opportunity to learn from Dr. Kelsey Hawthorne about Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition involving genuine neurological symptoms that occur without structural damage to the nervous system.

The discussion highlighted the complex relationship between the brain and body and the importance of thoughtful, interdisciplinary care.

Thank you to Dr. Hawthorne for sharing her expertise and clinical insights with our trainees.

We were also delighted to welcome back Dr. Harrell, former Insight Collective Postdoctoral Fellow and Clinician, who joined the presentation as a mentor.

Experiences like these help prepare future clinicians to approach complex presentations with curiosity, compassion, and clinical rigor.

One of the most meaningful parts of our work is watching students begin to see themselves differently.

It is designed for bright, complex learners who benefit from individualized support, small class sizes, executive functioning support, and a learning environment that helps them build confidence alongside academic skills.

We’re incredibly grateful to have had educational attorney Michelle Becker join us today for a didactic training with our graduate students at Insight Collective.

Michelle shared valuable insight into understanding IEPs more deeply and how thoughtful, clinically-grounded report writing can better support advocacy for children and families.

Opportunities like this are such an important part of our training program and reflect our commitment to helping future clinicians think collaboratively, practically, and compassionately about the real world impact of their work.

Thank you, Michelle, for such a meaningful and engaging learning experience.

Understanding how your child learns can make a meaningful difference.

If things haven’t been adding up this school year, a neuropsychological assessment can help you better understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and learning profile, along with clear recommendations for next steps.

Summer is a good time to get that clarity and plan ahead for the next school year.

If you’ve been considering an evaluation, we’re here to help.

A fun night out supporting South Pasadena schools at the SPEF partigras fundraiser this weekend 🌴 🦩

Grateful to be part of a community that shows up for its students, teachers, and families.

Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to host our annual free Reading Screener Event alongside our partners at Lindamood-Bell and Woodsmall Law Group and we continue to be moved by the impact these events can have for families.

We were able to meet with so many children and parents, provide greater clarity around reading and learning challenges, and help families better understand what may be contributing to their child’s struggles.

For many families, the most meaningful part is finally having a direction forward.

Thank you to everyone who participated and trusted us with your children and questions. We look forward to offering this free community event each year and are already excited to do it again next year.

When kids feel a sense of agency, motivation often grows alongside it.

Not through pressure.
Not through constant rewards.
But through connection, understanding, autonomy, and the experience of feeling capable.

In his latest article for LA Parent, Dr. Oren Boxer explores how parents, educators, and clinicians can support children in building confidence, ownership, resilience, and independence in ways that foster long term growth.

A thoughtful read for families navigating motivation, school challenges, executive functioning, and self-confidence.

Parenting rarely comes with clear answers.

Many parents are carrying questions like:

how to help,
how to support,
how to connect,
or how to move forward.

We’ve seen how much can change when a child feels understood and when a parent does too.

Today we’re thinking about the parents showing up every day with patience, advocacy, persistence, and love through all of it.

Wishing our community moments of connection, understanding, and rest this Mother’s Day.
