School Social Work

School Social Workers are a vital part of the total educational team. Working in collaboration with school psychologists, school counselors, school nurses, teachers and administrators, the School Social Worker integrates the information from all of these sources to provide social, emotional, behavioral and adaptive functioning support to the child, the child's family and the school.
