Child Study Team
You can contact the Child Study Team by calling the Oak Knoll School at 856-728-3945, and pressing 2 for the Child Study Team.
The Child Study Team at the Monroe Township Public School District consists of:
- school psychologists,
- learning disabilities teacher-consultants, and
- school social workers.
Child Study Team members are employees of the district (rather than hired consultants), and are available to provide services, conduct evaluations, and meet with parents. Child Study Team members also respond to threats of suicide, violence, and other crises that may compromise an effective learning environment.
Other specialists are also employed or contracted by the District to provide services as well. These people may be:
- speech-language specialists,
- physical therapists,
- occupational therapists, and
- school nurses.
Child Study Team members and the specialists who provide services gladly work with the family's physicians, counselors, and other professionals when students require such services.
Students eligible for special education services each have a case manager, who are usually members of the Child Study Team. Case managers are knowledgeable about their students' needs and educational programs, as well as special education procedures and safeguards. If you are the parent of a student with special needs, you are encouraged to form a working relationship with your case manager, in addition to your classroom teacher(s).
Call 856.728.3945 ext 5500 for more information, or to inquire about your child's case manager.
