Provide a professional forum for identification of social, academic and emotional needs of students.

Help the general education teacher document and develop an action plan designed to remediate the referring concern(s) and

If appropriate, recommend special education referral following eight -ten weeks of implementing appropriate interventions and accommodations in the regular classroom setting.

Staff members and parents may make a referral to the BBSST any time throughout the school year.  Contact the BBSST facilitator at the school.
