Camp Lejeune Dependents Schools employs three full-time school psychologists to work in the schools. School psychologists provide a range of services to assist children and adolescents in their learning, growth, and development by providing supportive servies to help students meet academic and emotional challenges. School psychological services consists of direct and indirect interventions that require involvement with the students, teachers, counselors, administrators and other school personnel, families, community agencies, and a variety of others that may be important on an individual basis. School psychologists tailor their services to the particular needs of each child/adolescent and each situation. Some of the core services of a school psychologist include:

• Consultation to teachers, parents, and administrators;
• Assessment of students who have been referred for testing by a multi-disciplinary team because of a suspected disability, three year re-evaluations of students receiving special education services if needed or a suspected medical condition that may require testing such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD);
• and the provision of direct or indirect Intervention services.

School Psychologists are unique in the educational setting, because their training equips them to provide psychological evaluations and facilitate mental health service delivery in the schools, while at the same time supporting the learning process, child development, and the understanding of educational systems. School psychologists work closely in conjunction with teachers, school counselors, nurses, and administrators in the delivery of services to address the educational, emotional, and social needs of students and families.
