Interview with School Psychologist, Kellie - Ann Brown Campbell

Special Education plays a key role in national development as it offers students an opportunity to overcome challenges in the learning environment and adopt functional skills for positive development. It often involves a multidiciplinary effort on the part of many professionals who work with these children and their families. Join Caribbean Partners for Educational Progress and Mrs. Brown Campbell as we explore the role of the School Psychologist in providing special education services in Jamaica and the challenges that exist in the sector.

Early detection and intervention are key to capitalising on the benefits of the education system

The population of special needs students in Jamaica is larger than normal. The approximately 4000 students who participated in the Alternative Secondary Education Transition Programme to remediate literacy and numeracy skill deficit is a testament and indicator of the magnitude of the growing problem. A great number of these students could have avoided the learning challenges experienced in the education system if they had received intervention earlier.
