Psychological Services

Wichita Falls Independent School District employs Licensed Specialists in School Psychology (LSSP) who work primarily with the Special Education Population. WFISD typically utilizes the LSSP as evaluation personnel when there is suspicion of the presence of Emotional Disturbance, Autism Spectrum Disorder and confirmation of Other Health Impairment: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. In specific cases, the LSSP may also be called upon to assist the ARD committee determining if a student’s inappropriate behavior is a manifestation of their disability under one of the above identifications. Finally, in particularly confounding situations for staff and/or students, the LSSP may be asked to help determine causes of specific problematic behaviors, or lack of appropriate behaviors, and offer recommendations for assistance with solving these issues. If you believe your student would benefit from these psychological services, please contact your student’s principal to discuss your concerns.
