TCESC School Psychological Services
Supporting Student Learning, Development, and Well-Being
The Trumbull County Educational Service Center (TCESC) provides school psychological services through partnerships with local school districts. Our school psychologists are dedicated to helping students succeed academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally.
What Do School Psychologists Do?
School psychologists are trained professionals who support students, families, and educators in the following ways:
Identifying Learning and Developmental Needs:
They help identify students with a wide range of needs, including difficulties in reading, writing, math, intellectual disabilities, self-help skills, and social-emotional development.
Evaluating Preschool-Aged Children:
For children ages 3 to 5 with suspected delays, school psychologists help determine if there are significant developmental concerns and work closely with the TCESC preschool program to support early identification and services.
Conducting Evaluations:
They assess cognitive abilities, academic performance, adaptive behavior, and emotional or behavioral functioning to help determine eligibility for special education services.
Collaborating with School Teams:
School psychologists work with teachers, intervention specialists, and other team members to design individualized supports and monitor student progress.
Supporting Mental Health and Behavior:
They help students with emotional regulation, attention challenges, anxiety, behavior issues, and peer relationships.
Partnering with Families:
School psychologists guide families through the evaluation process, explain results, and support understanding of student needs and services.
How Services Are Provided
School psychological services are provided through your local school district. While school psychologists are employed by TCESC, they work directly within schools as part of the district’s special education support team.
If you have concerns about your child’s development, learning, or behavior, please reach out to your child’s school. The school team—including the school psychologist—will work with you to determine next steps.
