Social Workers
The Hartland school social workers
provides assistance to students, families, and school staff to
help them understand and participate in the process of problem
resolution. Social workers may act as a liaison between school,
family, and other community agencies in nurturing a child's
normal growth and development. Social workers can provide
individual or group counseling for students who have behaviors
and issues of concern. Often times, they offer workshops to
strengthen parenting skills and assist in supporting positive
child and adolescent development.
School social workers are members of the Multidisciplinary
Evaluation Team and are able to assess students suspected of
having significant emotional, behavioral, or social problems
that affect their ability to succeed in the school environment.
The school social worker may provide consultation or
facilitation for functional behavioral analysis (FBA) and
behavior intervention plans (BIP).
