Educational Psychologist
An Educational Psychologist specialises in assessing the cognitive abilities of the child (memory, visual processing skills etc). The EP is able to assess learning and study skills, and give strategies and feedback to help the child to access the curriculum. ProEducation works with an educational psychologist based in South Africa who is able to meet with parents and students online. In addition we have a national education psychologist who is based in Bali. These services are highly specialised and so are not included in the pastoral care levy. If parents are concerned and would like their child to be assessed by an EP, they may request an assessment during this time. Equally, the specialists from the school may recommend to parents that an EP assessment is conducted if they have specific concerns about the child’s learning skills. |
What is the benefit of Specialist Service on the whole School ?
The role of the specialists on-site goes beyond individual therapy. The team delivers regular training and workshops, for the teaching staff as well as parents. This continual professional development, make our team of educators some of the most highly trained in Bali.
The Specialist Team also use a therapy approach, which is integrated across the whole school. This is called Packages of Care, this approach is based on current best practice and means the majority of the students attending our school have access to some level of specialist services.
