Professional Experience

School Psychologist
August 2004 to CurrentPelham City Schools － Pelham, GA

As the school system's sole school psychologist, I am responsible for evaluating students who are having learning and/or emotional behavioral problems which are affecting their school performance.
After evaluating a student, I am responsible for writing a psychological report, which teachers use for information to include in the students' IEP's, as well as the eligibility report.
For each student who is evaluated, I am a member of the Eligibility Team which determines whether or not the child is eligible for special education services.
As the school psychologist, I have had a limited role in counseling as each of our schools has a school counselor.
However, I did initiate a Rainbows program at our elementary school which was a support group for children who had experienced a significant loss in their lives, such as a death in the family, a divorce, foster care placement, or a parent incarcerated.
