Educational Psychology Service in Schools
Ms. Lee, an educational psychologist, visits the school regularly to help teachers to identify and support students with special education needs early and to provide free educational psychological assessments for students. If parents feel that their children need assessment or counseling on learning, emotional, or behavioral issues, they can contact the school social worker or the school principal. The school will arrange an appointment with an educational psychologist as needed.
