Support Services
Support Services is an active part of each division at CCDS. The Support Services support team consists of intervention specialists, speech/language pathologists, and school psychologists. The team works with teachers, students, parents, families, administrators, and admissions to ensure that academic, social and emotional needs can be effectively met at each stage of development.
When a child struggles or does not seem to be making anticipated progress, the faculty, parents, and support team work together to draw on strengths, identify weaknesses, and utilize strategies that allow each student to make progress and experience success. Intervention and support levels vary by division, as developmentally appropriate.
