Child Study Team

Child Study Team
 
A Child Study Team (CST) is a group of three professionals who evaluate children for special education services. The basic CST consists of a school psychologist, a learning disabilities/teacher-consultant, school social worker, and (for preschool students) a speech-language specialist.
 
CST members also provide ongoing services for students after educational classifications are designated.  As a student's case manager individual CST members are responsible for overseeing their educational program.
