School Counselor
Elementary school years set the tone for developing the knowledge, attitudes and skills for children to become healthy, competent and confident learners. A developmental school counseling program provides education, prevention and interventions which are integrated into all aspects of a child’s life. Early identification and intervention of children’s academic and personal/social needs is essential in removing barriers to learning and promoting academic achievement.
