Guidance and Child Study Center

The Guidance and Child Study Center began serving the Putnam/Northern Westchester area in 1948 - the first such center to be operated by a BOCES region. In the years since, we have expanded horizons for more than 40,000 clients, ranging from pre-school age to golden age, helping them make choices about their education, their careers, and the paths they want to follow.

Testing – multicultural, psychological, educational and neurological -- is provided to school districts on a regular basis by the Guidance and Child Study Center. The Center also consults with districts in the areas of behavior management, audiology, and assessment tools. And when districts need help in staffing part time psychologists, social workers or counselors, they often turn to the Guidance Center.

The Center offers programs during the year in areas such as character education and crisis intervention. Each spring three different college-related events are held -- for students, parents and guidance counselors, with keynote speakers, college representatives and a myriad of workshops.
