Child Study Institute
If you are having problems with your academic work, your dean might recommend sessions at Bryn Mawr's Child Study Institute (CSI). CSI has been providing psychological testing, counseling, educational support services, and school consultation to children and families in the Philadelphia area for more than 50 years. The staff includes 20 licensed psychologists, 23 educational specialists, and four speech-language pathologists.
The College pays for the first four sessions for freshmen, first two sessions for sophomores, one free session for juniors and seniors, and the student pays all fees thereafter. Students often find that even two of these highly focused sessions can make a real difference in the effectiveness of their studying. The fee for an hour-long session with the counselor is $60.
If you think that you are in need of this service, talk to your dean. Formal referrals to CSI are made through the Office of Access Services.
