Dr. K. A. Clark School

Home School Liaison

   Working within a multidisciplinary team to promote coordinated health and related support services, the Family School Liaison worker acts as an agent to the child, family, school and community to provide information, support, crisis intervention, and referrals to promote successful academic and social development of the child.
   The Family School Liaison Worker acts as a liaison between the child/family and the referral service and must be seen by the client as a support person, not a disciplinarian or adversary.
    Students and their families may be referred to the Family School Liaison Worker if they are experiencing social or emotional difficulties, problems within the school setting, problems within the family or the community, or have barriers to successful learning which requires professional services. The Family School Liaison Worker may also provide ongoing support to families whose children are receiving treatment or therapy from another service provider.
