That depends on the concerns you or the school have about your child. If your child is having difficulty with school work there will probably be some formal assessment. If your child is having difficulty with friendships or with other relationships, the psychologist will explore your child’s understanding of the situation and discuss coping strategies and practice alternative ways of behaving.
Sessions with the psychologist are usually about 50 minutes long and can occur weekly.
The psychologist will discuss with you if a referral to an outside agency would be helpful for your child.
