His formal education includes two master's degrees, a doctorate in psychology and post-doctoral work in autism and behavior modification. “Dr. Turner's book is an excellent first step in the right direction. It is an example of his commitment to doing what is right for students. I found the sections on assessment and the IEP process particularly enlightening. This book would be an informative read for any individual involved in the IEP process..” - William Shupe, M.A., NPS Principal“Dr. Turner has written a comprehensive book that can save many interns, first year school psychologists, and even seasoned veterans valuable time if his strategies are utilized. Many people (professionals too) confuse activity with being successful and effective. However, many school psychologists are so busy running from meeting to meeting and are in “stomping out fires” mode and the day is over before they knew it started. They are very active, but not very effective. Dr. Turner shows us how planned activity and organization are effective. Dr. turner provides us with a common sense model of how to learn good professional habits and make them a part of our professional and daily life.” - Roger McCoy, PPS school psychologist for Riverside County SELPA“This book is very thorough and innovative in the progressive future of school psychology. As a new School Psychologist entering the field, I love the detailed information and direction.” – Alice Bass, School Psychologist InternDr. Turner is a licensed educational psychologist in California, lead school psychologist in a mid-size district, private pilot, Marine combat veteran, and adjunct college professor.
