Eating disorders are not a specific special education exceptionality. Counseling may be provided by the school psychologist to a student with an eating disorder. A school psychologist cannot diagnose an eating disorder. Level 1 grief support does not include therapy. School psychologists are qualified to work with a student who is grieving over the loss of a parent. Any of the three levels of support for a grieving student are determined by the reaction of the student to the loss. Inside of the prison, school psychologists do not have a high amount of discretion due to the importance of their role in assisting inmates.
