Bilingual Schoology
services
Bilingual Schoology Services, established in 2023 by Manuela Garcia, was founded in response to the critical need for bilingual school psychologists. Recognizing the scarcity of professionals catering to Spanish-speaking students, Manuela embarked on this journey driven by personal experience. Having faced challenges as a student when she first arrived in this country, Manuela understands firsthand the unique struggles encountered by Spanish-speaking students.
Her commitment to providing comprehensive support to diverse communities led to the creation of Bilingual Schoology Services, where expertise meets the imperative need for inclusive educational psychological services. Manuela's passion for addressing the unique challenges faced by Spanish-speaking students, rooted in her own experiences, propels the mission of Bilingual Schoology Services, ensuring accessible and tailored support for every child's academic, social, and emotional well-being.
