Occupational Therapists
An Occupational Therapist evaluates and works with students who need exercises or adaptations to coordinate fine motor skills or to improve perceptual motor problems. The Occupational Therapist gives direct support to students and advises members of the team. The goal for the Occupational Therapist is to help the student to be successful in the educational environment.
Psychologists
The School Psychologist evaluates a student's intelligence, personality, perceptual-motor skills using tests, observations and other procedures. They may also administer achievement tests to determine the impact that intelligence has on achievement. The Psychologist will also determine a student's profile of strengths and weaknesses comparing the results of the profile with the school curriculum, making suggestions to ensure the student's success. School psychologists may provide educational intervention and other services if designated on the IEP.
Speech and Language Pathologist
The Speech and Language Therapist evaluates students who may qualify for special education programs and services due to a disability in the areas of language development, articulation, voice, and fluency. They also provide instructional support to students and assist students with augmentative communication. Speech and language therapists consult with educational staff, parents, and community agencies relating to speech and other communication disorders. The type of speech services a child receives is based upon the recommendations from the IEP team.
Additionally, as part of our Curriculum Department, our district provides
Family School Liaisons to foster students social emotional learning.
