Child Study Process |
  If a classroom teacher notices that a student is having difficulty in the classroom due to academic (reading, math or writing), behavioral problems, or some other difficulty, she/he will try various interventions to assist the child. Often these interventions result in the student becoming more successful in school. The parents will be kept informed of the child's progress. If these procedures are not successful, the teacher may talk with the school counselor to determine if a Child Study Meeting would be appropriate.
During the Child Study Meeting, team members will:
Share background information on the identified student
Identify problem area(s)
Brainstorm strategies that will assist the student
Define reasonable, measurable goals for the student
Identify team members who will assist student in reaching the goals
Determine if the goals have been set or if further intervention is necessary
Child Study Team Members:
Parents
Classroom teacher(s)
School Counselor Principal
School Psychologist
Other professionals may be invited if the child receives services, or may help in the process:
Reading support teacher
Speech Therapist School Nurse
Special Education Supervisor
Outside Agency Personnel
If you feel your child is struggling in school, contact your
child's teacher or counselor to discuss if the
child study process may be beneficial for him/her.
