SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES

Emerson School provides an array of psychological services that address the needs of students, parents, and teachers. These services include psychodiagnostic testing and consultative services, as well as individual and group counseling. These services are oriented towards understanding a child’s strengths and weaknesses and developing any needed interventions that would promote the student’s overall well-being. Learning disorders, as well as behavioral, social, and/or personal limitations can impact on the child’s mental health and educational development. To better address the needs of students, the school psychologist works closely with other team members, including parents, teachers, and related service providers. This assists in promoting a better understanding the child, providing viable interventions, monitoring the effectiveness of any intervention plans, and tailoring a student’s educational plan based on his or her on-going needs.
