Re: Psychs
By Michelle

Clip to ScrapBook   
I would begin by just calling the psych and asking what he/she feels you need to know or do to help the child be successful. If you have noted any positives, mention them. If you have any major problems, mention them also.
Basically, just let this person know you are interested in working with the child and establish some rapport as a basis for future contacts. That way, you have some common ground when you need to call re: a crisis of some sort. You might also ask if there are any behaviors in his history that would indicate he needs to be more closely supervised to keep other students safe. (i.e.,
Should he be going in the bathroom with a group of boys unsupervised? Or should he go by himself? Is inappropriate touching one of his behaviors?)

I have worked closely with several psychs in the past and have found them to be tremendously helpful. It's also nice to have a support system during a crisis situation or with some type of really bizzare behavior.
