The Child Study Team consists of the school psychologist, learning consultant, and social worker. The learning consultant conducts educational evaluations, develops reviews and modifies curriculum, consults with teachers and administrators, reviews and orders educational materials and presents workshops to school staff. The psychologist conducts psychological evaluations, counsels students both individually and in groups, consults with school staff members, provides crisis intervention to students, and leads workshops for parents and school staff. The social worker evaluates the affective and social skills, counsels students and parents, communicates with community agencies, consults with school staff, and conducts training activities.

The Child Study Team works with teachers, parents, and school personnel to provide support of students identified as a child with a learning disability. The team collabroates together to assess individual needs, develop tailored Individualilzed Education Programs to ensure that the students receive the appropriate resources and support to thrive academically and socially. By working together, the CST aims to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that helps all students reach their full potential.

Written parental consent is required for a student to be initially referred to the Child Study Team. Parents are encouraged to participate in all phases of their child’s referral process. 

If you think your child may have a disability that affects his/her learning you are encouraged to speak with your child’s teacher or contact a member of the Child Study Team in your child’s school.
