Our mission is to promote ongoing professional growth, increase awareness of local services in the Delaware Valley to students and encourage collaboration across disciplines in order to better meet the needs of schools and their students.

For Specialists

With over 300 members in local schools and professional practices, SOS continues to be an important resource for those who work with students in the greater Philadelphia area. SOS provides formal and informal opportunities to network with other professionals, and to share information about the many things we do within and across specialties to make each student’s learning experience successful.

High-performers, such as Olympic athletes, CEO’s, and orchestra musicians, succeed at the highest level because of their ability to know where to focus when faced with internal and external distractions. These insights are equally applicable to student high performers. In this workshop, clinical and sport psychologist Dr. Mitchell Greene will discuss how he helps student athletes who struggle because of what he calls “mind chatter”—the voice in a performer’s head that is full of doubt, second-guessing and negative thinking.

For Parents

While SOS stands for Specialists of Schools, it can also be a resource for parents concerned about their children’s education.  Our membership is multidisciplinary but is joined together by an emphasis on educational issues within specialties.
