These resources include specialists like psychologists, nurses, doctors, psychiatrists, vocational experts, and visiting teachers who provide consultation, assessments, and treatment. Additional resources are the school librarian who can provide books on guidance topics, and the community and parents who can offer information about student needs and opportunities.
