My Project

I work as a school psychologist in a Title I elementary school. I have seen immense regression in social skills that would typically be expected in students grades K-5. I have also seen an increased need for social emotional intervention across the student population. This project would allow me to provide enriched psychological services to students with disabilities. It would also allow me to provide literature to my students to help them better understand their emotions and environment, which is a crucial part in social development. In sum, these resources would allow opportunities for my students to regulate and return to their academic environment ready to learn.
