Who Is Included in Our School-Based Multidisciplinary Evaluations?

Our evaluations mirror and often exceed the standards of a district Child Study Team.
Depending on the referral questions, our team may include:

​

Core CST Personnel

• School Psychologist – cognitive, behavioral, social-emotional, and functional assessments

• Learning Disabilities Teacher-Consultant (LDTC) – academic achievement and learning profile analysis

• School Social Worker – developmental, social, and family history

​

Related Professionals (as needed)

• Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)

• Occupational Therapist (OT)

• Physical Therapist (PT)

• Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

• School Nurse or medical professional

This multidisciplinary approach supports accurate classification decisions and ensures evaluations are defensible and actionable.
