HAPPY NATIONAL SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST WEEK, MS. DOWNEY!
In APS, school psychologists bring high levels of expertise in supporting the holistic needs of students, individualized to each specific context and situation. In this way, they can support school teams in problem-solving learning challenges, behaviors, or social-emotional needs. Moreover, they view the student through a strengths-based lens, determining what assets a student possess that can form the foundation of a plan to help them build new skills. Whether it is intervening in an immediate crisis or providing general education services to specific students for a specific social-emotional or behavioral skill, APS school psychologists meet every day with professionalism, compassion, and belief that all children are capable.
