A cornerstone of our philosophy of training is viewing theory and practice from an ecological framework. An ecological perspective emphasizes the myriad types of social, social-historical, institutional, and environmental forces that interact with one another to impact the learning, as well as social and emotional health of children and adolescents.
Culture often has a profound impact on the learning and emotional health of children.
In addition, a school psychologist's awareness of cultural differences can enhance the delivery of assessment and intervention services.
