Major functions of Pupil Appraisal personnel include being child\/student advocates and assisting students to remain in and profit from the general education curriculum whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Coordinator Contact Information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Joyce Smith, M.ED, NCED<br>Director of Pupil Appraisal<br>(318) 728-5964 ext. 243<br><a href=\"mailto:joysmith@richland.k12.la.us\">joysmith@richland.k12.la.us<\/a><br>Schools: Holly Ridge Elementary, Mangham High, &amp; Rayville Jr. High<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly Harper, LCSW-BACS<br>School Social Worker<br><a href=\"mailto:kharper@richland.k12.la.us\" data-type=\"mailto\" data-id=\"mailto:kharper@richland.k12.la.us\">kharper@richland.k12.la.us<\/a><br>Schools: Delhi High, Rayville High, Richland Career Center Archibald<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katie Bennett, LSSP-NCSP<br>School Psychologist<br><a href=\"mailto:kbennett@richland.k12.la.us\">kbennett@richland.k12.la.us<\/a><br>Schools: Holly Ridge Elementary, Mangham Elementary, &amp; Rayville Elementary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wendy Cooper, M.ED, NCED<br>Educational Diagnostician<br><a href=\"mailto:wcooper@richland.k12.la.us\">wcooper@richland.k12.la.us<\/a><br>Schools: Delhi Elementary, Mangham Jr. High, &amp; Start Elementary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Speech Concern Contact Information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Holly Moore, M.A. CCC-SLP<br>Speech\/Language Pathologist<br><a href=\"mailto:hmoore@richland.k12.la.us\" data-type=\"mailto\" data-id=\"mailto:hmoore@richland.k12.la.us\">hmoore@richland.k12.la.us<\/a><br>Schools: Delhi Elementary, Delhi High, Holly Ridge Elementary, Delta Head Start (Delhi)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alana Davis, M.A. CCC-SLP<br>Speech\/Language Pathologist<br>adavis@richland.k12.la.us<br>Schools: Rayville Elementary, Rayville Jr. High, Rayville High, Delta Head Start (Rayville)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashley McFarland, M.A. CCC-SLP<br>Speech\/Language Pathologist<br><a href=\"mailto:amcfarland@richland.k12.la.us\">amcfarland@richland.k12.la.us<\/a><br>Schools: Mangham Elementary, Mangham Jr. High, Mangham High School, Delta Head Start (Mangham)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emilee Trisler Turner, M.A. CCC-SLP<br>Speech\/Language Pathologist<br><a href=\"mailto:eturner@richland.k12.la.us\">eturner@richland.k12.la.us<\/a><br>Schools: Start Elementary, Holly Ridge Elementary, Delta Head Start Screenings\/Evaluations (All sites)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: Homebound students are assigned to therapists who service the area where the student resides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pupil Appraisal Services comprise an integral part of the total instructional program of the Local Educational Agency.&nbsp; The purpose of Pupil Appraisal Services is to assist students who have academic, behavioral, and\/or communication challenges, adjustment difficulties, or other special needs <a href=\"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/index.php\/pupil-appraisal\/\" class=\"read-more\">Read More &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/681"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/681\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4438,"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/681\/revisions\/4438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
