The school counselor plays an important role for students at CID.

School Counseling

Our CID school counselor, Pat Wasserman, MAEd, is a successful profoundly deaf role model for our students. She teaches a weekly class called Health and Growth. The class covers not only health and growth related topics, but also how to be assertive, how to work toward success and more. Instruction centers around our social skills curriculum, The Second Step Program.

Pat also provides small group and individual counseling for children having a special problem such as a death, illness or divorce in the family. When needed, she collaborates with parents, the department coordinators and the school nurse about such issues as they affect the child.
