My students are in a small structured classroom with close supervision to address their emotional and behavioral disabilities. Many of the students, ages 8 to 14, are also challenged by mental health and learning disabilities which prevent them from being with the general school population. As a counselor my role is to assist student in accessing their education and provide a safe place for them to express their feeling without judgment. Although bright, capable and charming often their behaviors can affect their academic performance. Our students struggle with inability to focus, impulse control and difficulty with peer interactions.
