THE PRACTICE OF SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY

School Psychological services include a wide range of options including such things as assessment, consultation, inservice, research and intervention to assist school teams and families in the goal of student success at learning.

Staff in Psychological Services at school boards throughout Ontario typically includes Psychologists and Psychological Associates who are registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. Individuals with various levels of training in Psychology or other Social Services may work under supervision of psychologists. Individuals who are working toward registration with the College, may also work under supervision as Psychoeducational Consultants.

Staff members in Psychological Services are often assigned as resource personnel to specific elementary and secondary schools within a school board.
