Educational accommodations for mental health

In Stark County schools, guidance counselors, behavioral health specialists, teachers and school administrators collaborate to plan specialized instruction and support services for students with behavioral health concerns. Through teacher education, in-classroom strategies, case management and more, schools are better able to manage disruptions, reduce truancy and increase student resiliency.

School psychologists play an essential role in a child’s overall education plan. They collaborate with educators, serve as part of a child’s IEP team and provide mental and behavioral health services in the classroom and at home. School psychologists also coordinate the evaluation process in order to determine or re-determine if a child qualifies for special education services beginning at 3 years old. Contact your local district to learn about the mental health services and educational accommodations offered in your school system.
