How do schools evaluate kids for special education? Season 1 of our new Understood Explains podcast answers these questions and more.

In this bonus episode of In It, Amanda Morin and Gretchen Vierstra talk with Dr. Andy Kahn, a psychologist who spent nearly 20 years evaluating kids for schools. Andy shares why he’s excited to host Season 1 of Understood Explains, which breaks down the special education evaluation process for families.
