CST - Child Study Team

The Child Study Program is a problem-solving process designed to support students who may be experiencing academic, behavioral, and/or emotional challenges. The program is not special education, but rather a collaborative effort that brings together a team of professionals including teachers, counselors, administrators, and specialists to identify concerns and develop targeted strategies or interventions that help students succeed in the general education setting.

Each student is closely monitored throughout the school year as well as discussed at three scheduled meetings in the fall, winter, and spring. During these meetings, the Child Study Team reviews the student’s progress, analyzes data, adjusts interventions, and makes additional recommendations as needed. The team may also recommend additional support services and/or recommend additional testing if appropriate.

The Child Study Program is a proactive and supportive approach. Our aim is to ensure that your child receives the resources and guidance necessary to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
