In this episode, I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Liz Angoff, a Licensed Educational Psychologist and my go-to expert when parents ask, “How do I explain my child’s diagnosis in a way that feels empowering?” With over 20 years of experience supporting students, families, and educators across public schools, community settings, and private practice, Dr. Angoff brings a rare and deeply compassionate perspective to her work. She began her career as a classroom teacher, moved into family advocacy, and later trained as a school psychologist with a specialization in neuropsychology. At the heart of Dr. Angoff’s work is a powerful mission: helping children and families understand and appreciate their amazing, unique brains. Through her practice and her platform, Explaining Brains, she supports neurodivergent learners with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based insight. In our conversation, we explore: Dr. Angoff’s journey into educational psychology What actually happens during educational and neuropsychological assessments How parents can talk with their child about a diagnosis in a supportive, strengths-based way Ways parents can manage their own anxiety so they can show up with confidence Her Brain Building book—how it supports elementary-aged learners and how the strategies can be adapted for teens This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and professionals who want to better understand assessments, diagnoses, and how to talk about the brain in a way that builds confidence and connection. https://a.co/d/9LbG5eN www.ExplainingBrains.com www.DrLizAngoff.com
