School Observations
Support Where It Matters Most
Lasting Strategies That Stick
We turn observations into clear recommendations that drive lasting success at school and home.
Collaborative, Classroom-Based Support
We work with your child’s teachers to develop practical, tailored behavioural strategies.
Professional Insight, In Real Time
Our Licensed CYCPs observe your child at school and provide immediate feedback on what’s working and where support is needed.
In-the-Moment Support for Real-World Challenges
Building Success Through School Observations
Navigating the school day can be difficult for children, especially those with attention, regulation, or behavioural needs. Our School Observations service brings support to where challenges most often occur: the classroom.
At VMA Psych, our licensed Child and Youth Care Practitioners (CYCP) work directly within your child’s learning environment to understand their needs and tailor evidence-informed strategies that build regulation, resilience, and skill.
