Student Risk Screening Scales (SRSS) Behavior screening is crucial to identifying students who are at-risk due to their social emotional needs. Just as students are screened for physical health issues during school physicals, they should also be screened for any behavioral "red flags." Screening data provides the means to deliver proper supports to students in need. Schools can better identify students at risk, notify parents and provide supports before extreme behavior or mental health issues occur. Contact us to support you in the implementation of SRSS and a system to support your students.

Under federal law, every LEA is required to designate a liaison and liaisons have ten specific duties under the law, one of which is to provide this PD.
