In addition to guidance services and guidance staff, Edison High School has two school psychologists, a student support specialist and a school counselor. 

School psychologists serve both the students in special education and assist in psychological services for any student on the Edison campus.  While their main focus is on students with an individual education plan (I.E.P.), they also perform educational assessments and provide counseling when needed.  They can be reached by phone or e-mail:
