School Psychologist
Haysville School Psychologists have specialized training in both psychology and education. Their primary goal is to support students’ ability to function successfully in the educational setting. School Psychologists provide screening, assessment, and intervention for students who are experiencing difficulty with academic achievement, social/emotional status, and development. Additional areas of focus include parent and teacher consultation, individual and group counseling, classroom design and preventative techniques.
School Psychologists play a critical role in the school building level General Education Intervention Team. The general purpose of the General Education Intervention Team is to serve as a support system to address concerns that interfere with a student’s functioning at school. Some examples of possible areas of concern might include: academic performance, behavior problems, social skills, motivation, family changes, self-concept, attendance issues, and health/hygiene. Any staff member or parent can refer a child to the General Education Intervention Team.
