Kaitlin (Katie) Kiely

After graduating high school, I attended SCSU for eight years straight earning the following degrees: 

 

BA in Psychology- May 2018 

MA in General Psychology- May 2019

MS in School Psychology- May 2021

Sixth Year Certificate and License in School Psychology- May 2022 

 

I have worked with all age ranges from preschool to transitional programs (18-22 years old). Although this is my first year as a School Psychologist, I have completed extensive internships in both the Hamden School District as well as the Amity Regional School District #5. During both my time at SCSU and throughout my internships, I have gained a lot of experience working with a wide range of student with disabilities as well as general education students. 

Evaluation- use a variety of evidence-based assessments & techniques to evaluate student's academic progress, social/emotional functioning, intervention effectiveness, & special education eligibility 

 

Counseling- provide direct services in groups and individually that best fits the student's needs based on a variety of counseling techniques

 

Consultation- work collaboratively with social workers, counselors, teachers, parents, and other members of the school system and community to help support student's overall growth and development

 

Intervention- implement research-based interventions in the classroom, collect data, develop behavioral intervention plans, and assist in crisis situations

 

Prevention- assist in early identification of potential learning or behavioral problems, promote positive climates, implement school-wide prevention programs, and collaborate with student support teams

I was born and raised in Milford, CT (Foran HS graduate) but recently bought a house with my boyfriend  in Stratford, CT. In May 2022, we welcomed a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy named Tucker into our lives!

 

I love going to the gym and going for hikes. Working out is a huge stress reliever for me. I also really enjoy trying out new restaurants, and suggestions are always welcome!
