School Psychologist

At some point, every student will struggle with getting the most out of their school experience. Some may be dealing with problems at home, bullying in the classroom, or their own anxieties. Some are struggling with academic difficulties, learning disabilities, or problems concentrating. Still others may be bored in class because they are not being challenged enough at their current grade level. Whatever problems a student may face in their school environment, a school psychologist collaborates with teachers, staff, students, and their families to ensure that a child gets the most out of their school experience.

School Psychologists combine expertise in child development, psychology, and education to create an ideal learning environment tailored to each child. School Psychologists will consult with educators and collaborate with parents to determine the best way to help students succeed. They also work to identify students that qualify to receive additional school services and often spearhead the formation of a student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Spending time with students, either one-on-one or in groups, School Psychologists help children succeed socially, emotionally, behaviorally, and academically.

What Does a School Psychologist Do?

A School Psychologist’s primary goal is to help students learn and teachers teach. Therefore, their services can mean filling various roles in the school setting!

Advocate

A School Psychologist often advocates for students, providing a unique perspective on how best to help each one. School Psychologists offer a trained view to recommend:

Community services that can benefit the student
Programs within the school setting that a student may qualify for
Adjustments and additions to an IEP
Classroom techniques and strategies to improve a student’s learning
Evidence-based methods to improve teacher effectiveness
School-wide programs to enhance student engagement and wellness

Evaluations

The many evaluations necessary within a school setting can quickly become overwhelming. School Psychologists are trained to effectively evaluate students to determine what services they qualify for and how best to meet their individual needs. Our School Psychologists are familiar with many standard evaluations, as well as less-often used ones, such as:

Woodcock-Johnson IV: Tests of Cognitive Abilities
Woodcock-Johnson IV: Tests of Academic Achievement
Woodcock-Johnson IV: Tests of Oral Language
Beck Anxiety Inventory
Beck Depression Inventory
Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children- 5th edition
Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test- 5th edition
As well as records reviews, observations, and interviews with teachers, professionals, and parents

Collaborate

A School Psychologist specializes in bridging the gaps between the various team members working to support a student. By collaborating with different team members, the School Psychologist can ensure that a student will succeed and that all involved are on the same page, including:

By promoting open communication and ensuring that all are aware of a student’s needs, a School Psychologist can coordinate the care provided to a student and ensure their success.

Counseling

School Psychologists utilize their expertise in mental health, psychology, child development, and education to offer counseling services and other interventions when beneficial. These may include

Assisting groups or entire schools following community-wide trauma
Individualized services after traumatic events, such as the death of a loved one
Providing education on anger management or behavioral and social skills
Identifying safety risks on a school-wide basis
Providing support and strategies to address interpersonal conflict, such as bullying

Diversify

A School Psychologist helps to support diverse learners in the classroom. They may:

Collaborate with teachers and staff to provide culturally responsive services for students from all backgrounds
Offer strategies to support students with learning disabilities or other academic difficulties
Provide adjustments and accommodations for students with physical disabilities
Spearhead development of Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) to ensure each student can reach their potential

IEP Coordination

School Psychologists provide beginning-to-end support in the development and administration of IEPs. From the very start, our School Psychologists at SuperPsyched Support begin by providing expert evaluation of students. Using various standardized tests, our School Psychologists can determine how best to assist each student, whether they are struggling in certain areas or are gifted. The School Psychologist may also interview and observe students in the classroom to fully understand each student’s needs.

Our School Psychologists’ services also include the writing and development of IEPs. With so many staffing shortages, schools struggle to find the time and personnel to support their students as much as they would like. Here at SuperPsyched Support, our School Psychologists provide an extra boost as they utilize their extensive training to craft IEPs that are thorough and clear and ensure that each student gets the help they need.

To promote each student’s success, academically and emotionally, our School Psychologists also provide ongoing support during the school year. Collaborating with the multidisciplinary team, offering individual counseling for students, and establishing carryover in the home environment, our School Psychologists make sure that a child is supported in every aspect of their lives. Additionally, by monitoring a child’s progress over time, our School Psychologists here at SuperPsyched Support follow the entire process to help each child get the needed services.
