Psychologists may consult with teachers to help reduce student behavioral issues, obtain data to assess whether a student has a learning disability or mental health disorder, or to assist in building or repairing rapport with the student and their parents.

In this video, guest expert, Jon Lasser, PhD, discusses his approach to consulting in schools with a panel of mental health practitioners and students, then demonstrates consulting with a teacher who works with diverse students. The 6th grade teacher in the consultation seeks assistance from a school psychologist because one of her students does not respond to the teacher’s directives and does not conform to behavioral expectations. The teacher believes the student has a learning disability and should be removed from her class to receive special education.

Watch as Dr. Lasser navigates the various issues presented during the consultation, identifies the need for more data before diagnosing the student, and explores the student’s cultural background.

This session features a teacher portrayed by an actor on the basis of a composite of different cases.
