WELCOME! My name is Lynita Ludwig and I am the Child Development Advisor (CDA) of Kathyrn School. As the CDA, I offer a planned and balanced approach to student development. Planned activities focus on developing social and emotional skills in students, with the goal of enhancing both social interactions and academic performance.
The CDA consults with staff, students, parents and, when necessary, with outside agencies. This ensures that the needs of all learners are being met. The programs are designed to provide proactive and preventative supports as well as intervention with issues which have already been identified.
Areas of support include:
- Emotions and Emotional Regulation
- Conflict resolution
- Coping with changes in the family
- Coping with loss, dealing with grief
- Family support and referrals
- Friendship Skills
- Self Esteem and Self Awareness
- Preventative programming for kids at risk
- Relationship Building
- Resiliency/Character building
- Social Skill awareness
Referral Process:
Students can be referred to the CDA through:
- Self referral
- Parent referral
- Teacher referral
- Administrator/CDA referral
