School psychologists provide a variety of professional services to support the academic achievement, positive behavior, and social-emotional wellness of all students, especially those who struggle with barriers to learning. Some of the activities our School Psychologist does to support NCPS students include:
-
Conduct psycho-educational evaluations to assess abilities and functioning of students suspected of having a disability and requiring Special Education Services, as well as students suspected of qualifying for the Talented and Gifted Program
-
If you have a concern regarding your child’s school performance and the possibility of an evaluation for Special Education, please contact your school’s Student Based Intervention Team (SBIT).
-
If you are interested in referring your child for the Talented and Gifted (TAG) program, please contact the TAG Coordinator Katie Wilkins.
-
Assist with Special Education eligibility meetings
-
Work collaboratively with teachers and families in delivering effective differentiation strategies for students with diverse needs
-
Collaborate with teachers and school leaders to implement universal, targeted, and intensive academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support programs for all students (e.g., PBIS/VTSS initiatives, DESSA school-wide Social-Emotional Screeners, etc)
-
Enhance coordination and alignment of efforts to improve school safety, including crisis prevention, intervention, and response.
-
Assist in completing functional behavioral assessments and the development of behavior plans
