Brittany Small
Related Services bsmall@mesd.k12.or.us Greetings! I'm Brittany Small, School Psychologist at Wheatley and many other MESD sites. I have a passion for helping families succeed in finding the best path for their child in and outside of school. I have worked for the past two years within the Tigard-Tualatin School District as a drama coach, practicum student, school psychology intern, and school counselor/psychologist, and am happy to serve in my first year at MESD in the school psychologist role. As a school psychologist, I work to collect developmental, medical, behavioral and educational data and present that data in a meaningful way to educational teams (including parents!) to help make special education eligibility decisions. Outside of work, you will find me taking in a local show—I LOVE theatre! I also enjoy musical events and concerts, cooking, finding new and interesting exercise classes, and spending time with friends and family. |
