Social Work

Social work service in a school setting is considered a related service. It is provided to address the needs of children whose social/emotional development impacts their ability to succeed academically within the school setting and develop appropriate adult/peer relationships. The social worker works collaboratively with the child’s educational team toward developing greater insight into the social/emotional functioning of the students and towards the development of new techniques to assist the student.

Quick Facts

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that nearly 1% of children in the U.S. have some form of autism, a nearly 20-fold increase from the 1980s. Researchers, who attribute much of the rise to public awareness and a broader meaning of the disorder, continue to seek insight into possible causes and treatments.
