DESSA

DESSA, or the Devereux Student Strengths Assessment, is a tool used by educators and counselors to evaluate a child's social-emotional skills and overall well-being. It helps identify areas where a student is doing well and where they might need support, such as managing emotions, building relationships, or solving problems. The assessment involves input from teachers, parents, and the student themselves, providing a comprehensive view of their strengths and challenges. This information helps create personalized plans to support the child's growth, resilience, and success in school and life.
