This week was National School Psychology Week and this year's theme "Inspire Connection," recognizes the meaningful relationships school psychologists build to help students feel supported, understood and valued.
Whether partnering with families and educators or helping students navigate challenges and build confidence, our Alvin ISD school psychologists make a lasting difference in creating school communities where every student can thrive.
To our AISD School Psychologists, #WeSeeYou! Thank you for the care, expertise and dedication you bring to our students and schools every day. We appreciate you!
From food drives to community cleanups and acts of kindness, campuses and departments across the district are working together to make a positive impact in the communities that have supported Alvin ISD for the past 100 years.
From lending a helping hand to spreading a little holiday cheer, we love to see our students and staff are already making a difference across the community for #AlvinISDServes!

Unlocking Independence: Using Adaptive Technology for Student Success
Last month, AISD Assistive Technology specialists, OTs, and PTs strapped themselves into adaptive power wheelchairs to give the staff members valuable insights into available adaptive technology that might benefit the students they work with daily.
After trying the chairs themselves, staff got to see the real professionals at work–the students. The first visit was with EC Mason kindergartener Evalynn, who recently upgraded her specialized wheelchair. Her solo-session focused on how she can best use the new technology in the chair.
