Start with what you're seeing. Each answer moves from universal supports through targeted and intensive ones — try Tier 1 first, and add rather than replace as you move down.

The ten questions below, and which interventions each one routes to, were drafted with AI assistance rather than taken from AMS practice. They are a starting point for a conversation with staff, not an agreed referral pathway.
The safety pathway matters most here. Its wording — “contact a school counselor now; if none is available, go to an administrator” — is generic advice, not AMS’s crisis protocol. Confirm the real procedure with the counseling team before anyone relies on this page in an emergency.
The interventions themselves link to their own pages, several of which carry the same notice. Verify against the What Works Clearinghouse and AMS’s own procedures.
