Welcome to Haddon Township!
As a School Psychologist primarily assigned to the High School, my most important role is to support students so they may be successful in school and make progress in their classwork. This is done by working collaboratively with teachers, guidance counselors, parents, assistant principals, the school principal, the school nurse, and anyone else who may be a valuable team member for the student.
Collaboration to help a student may involve a variety of strategies: Consulting with teachers and giving suggestions for adaptations that can be made in the classroom and to assignments; Counseling to students; Student assessments, Consultation to families, Problem solving with Guidance Counselors, and Planning for prevention of challenges with the Principal and Assistant Principals.
