“My school psychologist supports the IEP team approach and is available for discussion and assistance with any question that arise throughout the process. She is very competent with helping the parents understand special education evaluations and the eligibility processes. She is passionate about her participation with the student support team and coordinates a peer buddy inclusion group, both of which provide positive interventions and assistance to students in need of positive school interactions with adults and peers." -Middle School Case Manger

"Parents often feel lost when the IEP team discusses terms familiar to educators, but not to them. My school psychologist is able to render the difficult-to-understand language down into “layman’s” terms and fully explain what each assessment was looking at and what the resulting data means. Thus, the parents leave the meeting with much greater understanding of their child’s strengths and weaknesses based upon the assessments" -Elementary School Principal
