Student Services
The mission of the Student Services department is to support the development of the whole child by providing academic, behavioral, and social-emotional assistance.
Who do we serve?
Student Services supports students in grades K-8, including those with diagnosed disabilities and those who are at risk in reading or math.
What academic supports are offered?
We provide academic support in reading and math through small group instruction and the Response to Intervention (RtI) model. These services are based on the RtI process or, if applicable, through Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), Individualized Services Plans (ISPs), or 504 plans.
What behavioral supports are offered?
Our behavioral support includes positive reinforcement strategies, classroom management systems, and, when necessary, individualized behavior action plans.
What social-emotional supports are available?
We offer social-emotional support through sensory-safe spaces, lunch bunch groups focused on social skills development, and referrals for counseling services.
How are services determined?
Additional evaluations can be requested through All Belong in Wyoming, MI, or our local school district. If services are needed, the local school district may also provide speech and language support.
Who provides services?
Our director, Leah Casson, holds a Master’s Degree in Teaching and Learning with endorsements in Learning Behavior Specialist Type 1 and Deaf/Hard of Hearing.
Our instructional assistants are highly qualified with bachelor’s degrees and experience in the educational field.
Our behavioral assistants have educational experience, with some holding paraprofessional licenses.
We are dedicated to supporting every student’s growth and success, providing a well-rounded approach to their development.
