Meet Our School Psychologists

School psychologists are trained to understand how kids learn, think, feel, and grow. They help figure out what each student needs to do their best in school by looking at things like schoolwork, how students solve problems, how they behave, and other important information.

 

In Monroe County, school psychologists work with teachers, families, and other school staff to help students succeed. They help teachers use information to adjust how they teach each student and take part in meetings like RTI² (Response to Instruction and Intervention) and Student Support Team (S-Team) meetings.

 

If a student might have a disability that makes learning harder, the school psychologist does a special evaluation. Then, they help the team decide if the student qualifies for special education services and what kind of help would work best. This support could be for things like learning problems, giftedness, autism, developmental delays, health issues, or brain injuries.
