Ryan Hogan: The World's Okayest School Psychologist

Today on the show, Jen welcomes virtual guest Ryan Hogan, who has recently gained Instagram fame as the witty and jovial “World’s Okayest School Psychologist”. He has been a school psychologist for about 18 years in the state of Texas, and he also is the Dad to a boy with Autism. Thank you for joining us, Ryan!

Today in our discussion:

• We talk about how Ryan turns the art of making Instagram memes into a therapeutic activity
• How he and his wife came to realize and accept that their son demonstrated Autism symptoms
• What to look for if you suspect your child may have symptoms of Autism
• How families can support their child with a disability, while helping to curb resentment in their typically developing child
• Destigmatizing mental health treatment

Ryan is a wealth of information with his many years of experience as a school psychologist! He was a lot of fun to Zoom in to the studio!
