School psychologists are an important part of the educational team in any school district. Psychologists perform many varied and necessary duties to promote educationally and psychologically healthy environments for all children and youth. School psychologists consult with educators to devise instructional and classroom management strategies for helping children succeed in school. They provide psycho-educational evaluations of children that may include assessing ability, achievement, learning styles, and social and emotional status. School psychologists also consult with parents, teachers and administrators to assist with designing individualized education programs for students with disabilities.

The MCESC provides tuition reimbursement making school financially accessible. Serving others is a tenant of this organization that I am so proud to be part of. I love working as a mentor to the children I serve, and it is the most rewarding part of my work week. Working at the MCESC allows me to pursue my love of helping students reach their true potential.
