Morning Session: FROM REFERRAL TO ROOT CAUSE: A CLINICAL & ECOLOGICAL APPROACH TO STUDENT BEHAVIOR

​

• Time: 8:30 - 11:30 AM

• Speakers: Hillary Reid & Alex Merrell

• Description: Student behavior is becoming increasingly complex, often reflecting unmet needs across home, school, and community systems. When teams respond quickly without a clear understanding of what’s driving behavior, interventions can fall short. this training introduces a practical framework to help school psychologists and educational teams move beyond surface-level strategies and toward more precise, effective decision-making. Participants will learn how to analyze behavior through a clinical and ecological lens, prioritize interventions, and identify where to intervene first for meaningful impact. Grounded in real-world application, this session equips participants with tools to better understand, support, and respond to students with complex needs.
