Introduction to the Child Study Team (CST)
The CST is a multidisciplinary team that is responsible for supporting the academic, social, emotional, and physical well-being of every child at The School by delivering psychological services including individual and group counseling, assessment, remediation, push-in classroom support, enrichment, parent/teacher consultation and other educational activities. Members of the team include psychologists, learning specialists, an occupational therapist, and a speech-language therapist. Dr. Diane Dillon, a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist, is the Director of the Child Study Team.
The Internship Program
The School at Columbia University offers a predoctoral psychology internship training program for eligible doctoral candidates in School and Clinical Psychology programs. The psychology internship is a full-time, 40 hours per week, 10-month position. The internship begins in late August and ends in late June. Interns complete a minimum of 1750 supervised hours of training. There will be one full-time intern and two part-time interns for the 2007-2008 school year. In addition, there will be two part-time externs and one post-doctoral fellow on staff. The internship is an organized training program that is designed to provide interns with a planned, programmed sequence of training experiences with a primary focus on assuring both breadth and quality of training. The internship provides training in a broad range of psychological assessment and intervention activities. Under supervision, interns provide direct psychological services to an ethnically and culturally diverse group of students, parents, and school personnel. Interns receive at least two hours of individual supervision per week from licensed staff psychologists and at least two hours of additional didactic experiences, including group supervision and training seminars. The program places emphasis on providing opportunities for interns to learn about cultural and individual diversity as they relate to the practice of psychology and is committed to attracting interns from differing ethnic, racial, and personal backgrounds into the program.
