SOCIAL WORK

The BCIU provides social work services to students ages 5 through 21 from various Berks County school districts.


Social work services in schools includes:

• Preparing a social or developmental history on a child with a disability. 
• Group and individual counseling with the child and family. 
• Working in partnership with parents and others on those problems in a child's living situation (home, school, and community) that affect the child's adjustment in school. 
• Mobilizing school and community resources to enable the child to learn as effectively as possible in his or her educational program.
• Assisting in developing positive behavioral intervention strategies.

School districts must make referrals by submitting a  Request for School-Age Services and Program Form to the BCIU.
