    604. Navigating PDA in the Assessment Process w/ Dr. Monica Corrado
    2026/10/12
    Click here to read the transcript Today, I’m happy to sit down with Monica Corrado to explore Pathological Demand Avoidance, also referred to as Pervasive Drive for Autonomy (PDA), within the context of evaluation and clinical practice. We discuss how the intense need for autonomy manifests in testing environments, why traditional standardized measures such as Wechsler intelligence scales often induce distress for PDA kids, and how alternative tools like the Differential Ability Scales offer a more valid representation of cognitive potential. Monica shares practical clinical strategies for ceding control, maintaining rapport, and interpreting behavioral process over raw numerical scores. We also examine differential diagnosis, contrast PDA profiles with oppositional defiant disorder, review rating scale patterns across parent and teacher informants, and highlight actionable post-assessment support strategies for families and educators. Main Topics Discussed 02:40: Personal resonance with autonomy and the fundamental drive for independence05:22: Identifying PDA in clinical practice and exploring historical background08:09: Conceptualizing PDA, social attunement, and re-evaluating manipulative behavior14:36: Distinct clinical features differentiating PDA from classic autistic profiles20:27: Evaluating process over scores and using the Differential Ability Scales over Wechsler batteries28:24: Managing power dynamics and non-standard administration strategies in testing42:27: Differential diagnosis: PDA versus ODD/CD and interpreting parent and teacher rating scales56:13: Actionable recommendations, school environment modifications, and community support networks 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 psychologistsDifferential Ability Scales (DAS-II): www.pearsonassessments.comWechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V): www.pearsonassessments.comAutism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2): www.wpspublish.comBehavior Assessment System for Children (BASC-4): www.pearsonassessments.comBehavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF-2): www.parinc.comVineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (Vineland-3): www.pearsonassessments.comConners 4th Edition (Conners 4): www.mhs.comThrive Autism Coaching: www.thriveautismcoaching.comHive Parents: www.hiveparents.comColorado Assessment Society: www.coloradoassessmentsociety.org Autism Society of Colorado: www.autismcolorado.org PDA Society: www.pdasociety.org.uk Featured Resources TherapyNotes is the leading EHR system for mental health practitioners.

About Dr. Monica Corrado Monica is a clinical psychologist who specializes in assessment, particularly psychoeducational assessment. She has experience working with anxious test takers and PDA students who may be hesitant or resistant to testing. She makes it her utmost priority to give families testing results that accurately reflect their child, and not the test or testing environment. She feels strongly that the assessment process, report, and feedback session are just the start of the relationship rather than the end product, and she feels passionately about working with families to implement the best recommendations for them.

    602. Learning Disorders Aren’t Actually “Specific” w/ Dr. Robin Peterson
    2026/10/05
    Click here to read the transcript As clinical evaluators, we frequently encounter cases where diagnostic criteria overlap, leaving us to navigate the complex intersection of co-occurring neurodevelopmental conditions. In this episode, Sara Woods and I explore the emerging construct of AuDHD, examining whether the co-occurrence of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder represents a distinct phenotypic presentation rather than merely two additive diagnoses. We discuss qualitative insights from community self-advocates, neurobiological evidence including gray matter variations, and the complex clinical dynamics of diagnostic overshadowing, double-counting, and autistic masking. Furthermore, we address the practicalities of selecting assessment batteries, evaluating sensory profiles, accounting for socioeconomic privileges in special interests, and navigating neurodiversity-affirming practices without abandoning diagnostic rigor. Main Topics Covered 03:02: Defining AuDHD as an emerging construct in clinical and community spheres04:48: Qualitative perspectives on internal tension and the cat-dog analogy11:38: Neurobiological research and gray matter variations in dual presentations19:42: Life-span clinical presentation from childhood masking to adult niche-seeking26:45: Intersections of socioeconomic status, special interests, and sensory needs32:46: Key diagnostic pitfalls: overshadowing, double-counting, and masking44:35: Assessment battery selection and collaborative diagnostic feedback48:34: Navigating client self-identification, social media trends, and ethical boundary setting Cool Things Mentioned Cool Things MentionedCraft: 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 psychologistsCatDog animated series: www.nick.comCamouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire: www.autismresearchcentre.comEmbrace Autism website: www.embrace-autism.comDIVA-5 Diagnostic Interview: www.divacenter.euChildhood Autism Rating Scale: www.wpspublish.comMonteiro Interview Guide for Diagnosing Autism Spectrum: www.wpspublish.comBehavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function: www.parinc.comRaising the voices of AuDHD women and girls: exploring the co-occurring conditions of autism and ADHD.

    600. Six Principles From 600 Episodes
    2026/09/24
    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. In this 600th episode of The Testing Psychologist Podcast, I reflect on nearly nine years of hosting the show and synthesize six core principles that drive long-term clinical excellence and practice sustainability. Grounded in literature spanning deliberate practice, therapeutic alliance, systems-level burnout interventions, and knowledge implementation, this episode provides a high-level roadmap for both early-career psychologists and seasoned evaluators. I explore why experience alone does not equal expertise, how systemic hygiene outperforms individual resilience tactics, and why community consultation serves as a vital clinical engine. Whether you’re seeking to streamline administrative friction or audit your core clinical beliefs, this framework offers actionable strategies to elevate your practice. 00:01: Reflecting on 600 episodes and the science of deliberate practice03:52: Principle 1: Epistemic humility and updating mental models07:42: Principle 2: The primacy of working alliance and clinical communication11:14: Principle 3: Prioritizing systemic hygiene over individual resilience14:48: Principle 4: Bridging the knowledge-to-action gap in clinical practice17:11: Principle 5: The power of microinterventions and incremental gains19:29: Principle 6: Leveraging community as a clinical engine Resources 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.
