School psychologists are uniquely qualified members of school teams:

• supporting students' ability to learn and teachers' ability to teach.

• Apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior, to help children and youth succeed.

• Partner with families, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community.

More specifically, at WCS, I work closely with both the MTSS (Multi Tiered level Support System) team as well as the Ed. Specialists. I consult on academic, behavioral, and social/emotional interventions for the MTSS and Special Education team. I complete assessments for students who have an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) or may need one. I also provide counseling and behavioral services to students who are unable to access their IEP goals due to emotional or behavioral challenges. Lastly, I provide staff and parents with information on how disabilities can impact learning and what students with special needs require in order to be the best they can be.
