WRDSB Psychology Department
At the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB), psychology staff work with students, staff and parents to support learning and development, as well as helping to address mental health concerns. Each school in our system has access to a psychological services consultant who is dedicated to providing assessment, consultation and intervention support. Psychology staff play an integral role in providing a deeper understanding of why a student may be struggling and developing strategies in collaboration with parents and teachers to support their specific learning needs.
