Consumers of school psychological services are interested in receiving a broader range of services from school psychologists than the traditional diagnostic one. One strategy that school psychologists might employ, in order to free up more time for providing alternative services, is to minimize their diagnostic function on the Child Study Team and become assessment consultants. This article discusses the types of services that an assessment consultant could provide to a Child Study Team.
