Allen County ESC provides school psychologists to support local school districts. School psychologists are responsible for timely evaluations for identification of special education services and placement, maintaining proper case records, conducting early entrance evaluations, aid the district with the development of intervention teams and processes, provide possible counseling services when needed, serve as a resource to the school and community to develop a better understanding of psychological services, child development, mental health, and individual differences, maintain and submit appropriate records for Medicaid documentation, and participate in screening programs. School pschologists assist districts in staying compliant with the latest legal, policy, and procedural updates as they relate to special education services and school psychology. They may also collaborate with school personnel to provide professional development opportunities, interventions and assessments, along with working with students with special educational needs.
