Consultation

---

School is an important environment not only for educational growth, but for social-emotional development. When children are experiencing difficulty excelling in school, whether academically, socially, and/or emotionally, consultation services may help bridge the gap between a child’s specific needs and school demands. Consultation services may encompass identifying the impact of the classroom, teaching style, and peers on performance and behavior, in addition to providing assistance to teachers to help them implement specific intervention strategies. These services may, as well, focus on identifying the need for special education services, assisting families in obtaining these services, and participating in IEP meetings.
