This presentation explores how a background in education can enhance psychological assessment and reporting practices, with a focus on producing reports that are meaningful, accessible, and actionable within school settings.
Drawing on 25 years of classroom experience alongside current clinical training, Kintara Phillips examines common barriers to report implementation in schools and offers practical strategies for translating assessment data into clear, usable recommendations. She will also explore frameworks for writing school-friendly reports and provide examples that illustrate how small shifts in language and structure can significantly improve impact.
About our presenter: Kintara Phillips
Kintara Phillips is a provisionally registered psychologist and former secondary English teacher with over 25 years of classroom experience. She holds a Master of Professional Psychology and a Master of Gifted Education, and has a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent children and adolescents, including those who are twice-exceptional.
Kintara’s work is grounded in a neuroaffirming approach and is informed by both her clinical training and extensive experience in education.
