School Psychologists work to enrich the educational setting through development of a positive social emotional climate that enhances student health, positivity and learning readiness. Each of the Student Support Services teams in every building includes full-time psychologist(s). All psychologists are fully credentialed and New York State certified in the practice of school psychology.
School Psychologists assist students in several ways:
-
- Provide individual and group counseling for school adjustment concerns
- Consult with students, families and staff to support students
- Design, implement and monitor interventions to help students achieve success in the school setting
- Conduct and interpret psychological and psychoeducational assessments to gain insight into cognitive strengths and weaknesses, learning styles, achievement levels, attentional and organizational needs, and social emotional development.
- Assume a critical role in crisis intervention services
- Develop appropriate Individual Education Plans
- Integral members on the Committees on Special Education, 504, and the Instructional Support Team
