À propos de cet audio
In this episode, Christopher sits down with Taisha Torres, a bilingual school psychologist whose journey from New York City to Texas reveals the beauty and complexity of serving diverse communities. Taisha shares how a college course unexpectedly led her into school psychology, the mentorship that shaped her path, and the lessons learned from working in culturally rich and high-need settings.
Together, they explore the nuances of bilingual advocacy, the balance between structure and flexibility in parent-teacher meetings, and the differences between school systems across regions. Taisha also opens up about her experiences as a mom, her authentic approach to parenting content, and her upcoming bilingual children’s book featuring a neurodivergent student named Matteo.
This conversation blends professional insight with real-life reflection—reminding us that behind every data point and IEP meeting, there’s a story rooted in culture, care, and community.
