What is a School Visit?
A School Visit is a collaborative service where psychologists attend your child’s school to observe, consult, and provide recommendations. By seeing the child in their everyday learning environment, we can better understand challenges and strengths, and work alongside teachers to create strategies that work both at school and at home.
Who Is It For?
School visits are most helpful when children or teens need support with:
-
Learning difficulties and classroom engagement
-
Social skills, peer interactions, and friendships
-
Behaviour challenges or emotional regulation at school
-
Transitioning to new classes, schools, or learning environments
-
Building communication between parents, teachers, and support staff
