School psychologists are mental health professionals who work in schools to support students' learning, emotional wellbeing, and social development. A major part of their job involves evaluating students who struggle academically or behaviorally, testing for issues like learning disabilities, ADHD, or emotional challenges. Based on these assessments, they help create individualized education plans and recommend specific interventions to help students succeed.

They also provide direct support through counseling—working with individual students or groups on issues like anxiety, social skills, or behavior management. When crises occur, they help the school community respond and recover. Beyond working with students, school psychologists consult with teachers and parents, offering strategies for classroom management and helping families navigate their child's challenges. Their ultimate goal is creating environments where all students can learn effectively and feel emotionally supported.

Did you know that the recommended student to psychologist ratio is 500:1, but Georgia's current ratio is approximately 2000:1?

“Experience Dyslexia™– A Learning Disabilities Simulation” is a hands-on experience designed to increase awareness of the difficulties and frustrations that people with dyslexia encounter daily. Participants rotate among six interactive learning stations that simulate various language-related tasks similar to those encountered in the classroom and workplace. Time has been set aside at each station to discuss experiences.

Brayden Davis wasn’t supposed to end up at MIT. At least, not according to the teachers who dismissed him in elementary school—the ones who saw a boy struggling to read and assumed he was just average. Not according to the system that saw his early learning disability—dyslexia—as a limitation instead of a challenge to overcome. And not, perhaps, even according to the younger version of Davis himself, who once believed he wasn’t cut out to be a student at all.

But this August, Davis, a senior at UNC-Chapel Hill double majoring in biomedical engineering and philosophy and a member of a lab led by APS Assistant Professor Wubin Bai, will pack up his life in rural North Carolina and begin a Ph.D. in medical engineering and medical physics at the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology program.

"People don’t understand that children don’t start kindergarten with a clean slate."

Nadine Gaab, an associate professor at the Harvard School of Education

Developmental trajectories of children with and without reading disabilities start to diverge around 18 months, rather than at 5 or 6 years old.
