Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. [https://thetestingpsychologist.com/576-transcript/] I have had the pleasure of reading Dr. Tony Attwood’s work since the beginning of my career, and it was a distinct privilege to sit down with him to discuss his fifty-five years of clinical experience. We discuss the transition from early work to our current neurodevelopmental framework, highlighting the critical shift in recognizing the female autism phenotype. Dr. Attwood provides deep insight into the internal experience of camouflaging and explains his pragmatic approach to preventing burnout using the energy accounting model. Our conversation also addresses the stark gaps in current research, specifically regarding non-speaking individuals and the unique challenges faced by the aging autistic population. Main Topics * The evolution of autism awareness and clinical experience since 1971 * Moving away from the refrigerator mother myth to neurodevelopmental genetics * The shifting prevalence and male to female ratio in autism * Recognizing the female autism phenotype and the toll of camouflaging * Reconceptualizing diagnosis as a process of self-discovery and closure * Identifying critical research gaps in sensory sensitivity and non-speaking autism * The challenges and outcomes of aging with autism and the role of support networks * Strategies for managing autistic burnout through the energy accounting model Cool Things Mentioned * Craft: the premier membership community for testing psychologists [https://the-testing-psychologist.mykajabi.com/CRAFT-waitlist] * Crafted Practice: the only in-person business retreat for testing psychologists [https://the-testing-psychologist.mykajabi.com/crafted-practice-home] * Reverb [http://www.reverbreports.com]: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologists * Attwood and Garnet Events: www.attwoodandgarnettevents.com [https://www.attwoodandgarnettevents.com] * Asperger’s Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals: www.amazon.com/Aspergers-Syndrome-Parents-Professionals-Attwood/dp/1853025771 [https://www.amazon.com/Aspergers-Syndrome-Parents-Professionals-Attwood/dp/1853025771] * The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome: www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Aspergers-Syndrome-Attwood/dp/1843106692 [https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Aspergers-Syndrome-Attwood/dp/1843106692] * CDC Autism Prevalence Report (2023): www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/ss/ss7202a1.htm [http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/ss/ss7202a1.htm]  Featured Resources TherapyNotes is the leading EHR system for mental health practitioners.

575. Moving Beyond the Discrepancy Model w/ Dr. Paul Beljan

Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. [https://thetestingpsychologist.com/575-transcript/] I am so excited to share this conversation with Dr. Paul Beljan, a pediatric neuropsychologist who is doing incredible work pushing our field forward. This episode is a deep dive into why we need to move past the outdated discrepancy models of the 1990s and start looking at the actual neurology of how kids learn. Paul and I talk about the “learn and lose” phenomenon, why math disorders are so frequently missed in schools, and the critical role of the cerebellum in procedural learning. We also get into the weeds on how to write reports that parents actually want to read and how to give feedback to a child in a way that is empowering rather than pathologizing. This is a must-listen for anyone who feels like the standard way of identifying learning disorders just isn’t capturing the full picture of the kids sitting across from them. * 00:32: The importance of accuracy in pediatric diagnosis and the weight of professional responsibility. * 03:39: A critique of the discrepancy model and the “wait to fail” problem in schools. * 07:34: Why math learning disorders are rarely diagnosed and the role of procedural consolidation. * 11:32: Distinguishing between phonological and orthographic dyslexia through error analysis. * 15:04: The “hook and ladder” fire truck analogy for the dual-tiered model of executive functioning and the cerebellum. * 30:48: The failure to consolidate fundamentals versus conceptual understanding in dyscalculia. * 45:13: Reforming neuropsychological report writing using the Stephanie Nelson model. * 59:08: How to conduct an “awareness meeting” feedback session with children.

574. EHR Review: Healthie

Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. [https://thetestingpsychologist.com/574-transcript/] Watch the video here. [https://youtu.be/mnf6BYCtYGc] It was a pleasure to dive back into the world of electronic health records. Today, I’m exploring Healthie, a platform that has gained significant traction recently. This review is a blind walkthrough from the perspective of a testing practice that bills insurance, focusing on whether the platform’s robust feature set actually translates to a smooth clinical workflow. I cover the initial setup and interface, the depth of third-party integrations, and the specific hurdles a testing psychologist might face when trying to move from a six-hour assessment to a clean insurance claim. Pros * Extensive Customization: The platform offers significant flexibility for intake forms and demographic tracking, including detailed options for gender identity and pronouns. * Robust Integrations: It connects with a wide range of third-party tools such as ClaimMD, AI scribing software, and marketing platforms. * Automated Intake Flows: Clinicians can build structured paperwork packets, allowing clients to move through forms in a seamless sequence. * Flexible Scheduling: The system supports specific naming for appointment types, which is useful for distinguishing between different types of assessment sessions. * Built-in Communications: Features like e-faxing and a secure client chat are integrated directly into the interface. * Data Visualization: A dedicated dashboard provides high-level reports on practice metrics, including appointments and provider utilization. Cons * Workflow Disconnect: There is a notable lack of integration between clinical charting and the billing process, requiring manual entry of CPT codes on claims. * Manual Billing Hurdles: Creating CMS 1500 forms or superbills is a manual process that does not consistently auto-populate fees or codes. * Steep Learning Curve: The interface is complex enough that new users often require guided onboarding or extensive use of the help center to navigate basic setups. * Generalist Design: Because it serves many medical specialties, the interface includes irrelevant modules for mental health, such as meal plans and medical metrics. * UI Inconsistencies: The user interface behaves differently across modules; for example, the claim interface provides error alerts that the superbill interface does not. * Note Customization Limits: It is difficult to find obvious options for creating fully customized clinical note templates tailored to testing right out of the box. * Cost Barriers: To access essential insurance billing features, practitioners must subscribe to higher-priced tiers, which can be expensive for group practices. Main Topics * 00:01: Introduction to Healthie and the philosophy of blind EHR reviews * 01:45: Initial onboarding process and navigating the primary user interface * 05:20: Exploration of client demographics, gender identity options, and insurance entry * 09:43: Review of the organizational settings, calendar functionality, and drag-and-drop features * 13:20: Deep dive into the intake flow builder and paperwork automation * 18:15: Evaluation of third-party integrations, including AI scribes and ClaimMD * 22:30: Configuring appointment types and scheduling for long-form testing sessions * 33:17: The disconnect between clinical charting and the CMS 1500 billing workflow * 49:20: Final verdict on pricing, learning curves, and suitability for testing practices Cool Things Mentioned * Craft: the premier membership community for testing psychologists [https://the-testing-psychologist.mykajabi.com/CRAFT-waitlist] * Crafted Practice: the only in-person business retreat for testing psychologists [https://the-testing-psychologist.mykajabi.com/crafted-practice-home] * Reverb [http://www.reverbreports.com]: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologists Featured Resources TherapyNotes is the leading EHR system for mental health practitioners.

573. Documentation 2.0: The Rise of AI w/ Dr. Maelisa McCaffrey

Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. [https://thetestingpsychologist.com/573-transcript/] I’m excited to share this conversation with Dr. Maelisa McCaffrey, a clinical psychologist and documentation expert who has been closely monitoring the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence in the mental health field. In this episode, we move beyond the surface level of AI as a simple productivity tool and dive deep into the ethical, clinical, and compliance-related nuances that every practitioner needs to understand. Maelisa provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape, from the rise of ambient listening scribes to the ways insurance companies are leveraging AI in their own processes. We discuss the transition from being a “doer” of documentation to becoming a “supervisor” of AI-generated content, emphasizing that while these tools can be life-changing for clinicians struggling with burnout, they do not absolve us of our professional responsibility for accuracy and clinical judgment. Main Topics * 00:01:21: The increasing pervasiveness of AI across personal and professional domains. * 00:05:40: Overview of the current AI landscape in mental health, including documentation and chatbots. * 00:15:48: Four primary ways AI platforms assist with clinical note-taking. * 00:21:18: Risks associated with session transcripts and the importance of data retention policies. * 00:30:10: Ethical requirements for informed consent and navigating state-specific AI laws. * 00:38:30: Technical vetting of AI companies: HIPAA compliance, BAAs, and anonymized vs. de-identified data. * 00:52:06: The effectiveness of AI in clinical formulation, diagnosing, and treatment goal generation. * 00:55:12: How insurance companies are utilizing AI for claims processing and potential denials.

572. Free Speech or Standard of Care? Summarizing the Chiles vs. Salazar Decision

Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. [https://thetestingpsychologist.com/572-transcript/] The landscape of mental health regulation shifted dramatically in March 2026 with the Supreme Court’s ruling in Chiles v. Salazar. In this episode, I break down why a Colorado case about conversion therapy has far-reaching consequences for every licensed professional, particularly those of us in the assessment world. We explore the court’s decision to reclassify “talk therapy” and diagnostic reporting as protected speech rather than mere professional conduct. While this ruling offers a new shield against state-mandated orthodoxy (potentially protecting gender-affirming care in restrictive states), it also weakens the ability of licensing boards to proactively prevent harmful “quackery.” I discuss the “intellectual disability paradox” in legal precedent and why we might need to return to more rigid documentation to protect ourselves from the coming wave of civil litigation. Main Topics * 00:35: The origins of the Minor Conversion Law (MCTL) and the 2019 Colorado legislative intent * 01:34: Kaylee Chiles’ First Amendment challenge and the “talk therapy as speech” argument * 02:45: The Supreme Court’s 8-1 decision: Viewpoint discrimination and the Gorsuch majority opinion * 04:30: Medical consensus vs. constitutional protection: Why the court rejected the “standard of care” defense * 05:25: Justice Katanji Brown Jackson’s dissent: The “scalpel vs. speech” warning and the danger of substandard care * 07:10: Potential negative impacts: Proliferation of unproven therapies and the erosion of consumer trust * 08:45: The silver lining: How this ruling could safeguard gender-affirming and reproductive health care * 10:34: Impact on testing psychologists: Diagnostic reports as “synthesis of clinical judgment” and protected viewpoints * 13:45: The shift in accountability: From proactive board regulation to reactive medical malpractice lawsuits * 16:50: Practical takeaways: Navigating the new requirement for “flexibility in interpretation, rigidity in documentation.” Cool Things Mentioned * Craft: the premier membership community for testing psychologists [https://the-testing-psychologist.mykajabi.com/CRAFT-waitlist] * Crafted Practice: the only in-person business retreat for testing psychologists [https://the-testing-psychologist.mykajabi.com/crafted-practice-home] * Reverb [http://www.reverbreports.com]: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologists Featured Resources TherapyNotes is the leading EHR system for mental health practitioners.
