Support Services

 

School Psychologist
Our school psychologist/counselor is on campus five days per week to meet with students after receiving permission from their parent.  Other services available include consultation with teachers and parents, assessment of special education students, individual and group counseling, and coordination of prevention activities and programs.  The psychologist also works closely with the Student Success Team (SST), the special education chairperson, the site-based counselor, and the principal.


Site-Based Counselor
Site-based counseling is provided on a regular basis by a Family Service Agency counselor.  Identified students participate in short-term counseling to provide social-emotional support for students who experience difficulty at school.  If you are interested in this service, please talk to the classroom teacher or contact the counselor through the administration office.


Special Education


Reading Intervention
Reading intervention services are provided to students who experience difficulty in meeting grade-level reading standards.  Credentialed teachers provide one-to-one support of students in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and sight words on a daily basis.  Students who participate in this program are identified by classroom teachers. 

Resource Specialist
The Resource Specialist provides instruction to individuals and small groups of students who have been identified through the special education referral and assessment process as needing academic support beyond what can be provided in a regular education classroom.

Speech Therapy
A speech therapist is on campus four days per week to provide students with supplemental support and instruction in the development and correction of speech patterns, disorders and language development.  Referrals to the speech therapist come through the Student Success Team (SST).

Family Resource Center
The Family Resource Center offers information and serves to improve families’ quality of life and to support student learning. A family advocate provides ongoing support to Harding families with basic needs, counseling, education and recreation opportunities for students, parent involvement opportunities, health services, and family services.  For more information, contact 965-0755.

Adapted Physical Education
A specially-trained credentialed teacher provides qualified students with physical/ motor skills development during their regular classroom physical education session.
