TASD has three school psychologists that are uniquely qualified to support students' ability to learn and teachers' ability to teach. They apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior, to help children and youth succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally.

TASD has one school social worker that helps our parents, students, and staff identify needs that interfere with learning. She works with students to get the services they need to resolve social, emotional and behavioral problems.
