School Partnership & Student Support Services | Rabbia Psychologist | Rabbia Psychologist Child Development Services

Rabbia Psychologist Child Development Services partners with schools, preschools, special education centres, and educational organisations to support students experiencing developmental, behavioural, emotional, attention, communication, and learning difficulties.

A Practical Partnership Between Psychology, School and Family

Children may behave very differently at school and at home. Effective support therefore requires communication between teachers, parents, psychologists, special educators, therapists, and school leadership.

Our school partnership services help educational teams understand the reason behind a student’s difficulties and develop realistic strategies that can be applied within the actual classroom environment.

Support may be provided through individual student consultation, teacher guidance, parent meetings, staff workshops, classroom-support planning, and ongoing school partnerships.

School Partnership Services

Student Development and Behaviour Consultation

Professional consultation for students experiencing concerns related to:

Attention and concentration
Hyperactivity and impulsivity
Autism and social communication
Challenging or disruptive behaviour
Emotional regulation
Learning difficulties
Developmental delays
School refusal or adjustment difficulties
Peer interaction and social skills
Classroom participation
Following instructions and completing work

The aim is to understand the student’s needs and identify appropriate next steps for the school and family.

Classroom Observation and Behaviour Support

Where appropriate and professionally permitted, classroom observation can help identify:

Situations that trigger difficult behaviour
Environmental or sensory challenges
Communication difficulties
Attention and executive-function needs
Academic demands affecting behaviour
Patterns of avoidance, refusal, withdrawal, or emotional distress

Following consultation, the school may receive practical recommendations for classroom routines, transitions, reinforcement, communication, and behaviour management.

Individualized Education and Support Planning

Schools can receive guidance in developing or reviewing:

Individualized Education Plans
Individual Support Plans
Behaviour Support Plans
Classroom accommodations
Learning and participation goals
Emotional-regulation strategies
Communication goals
Home-school progress plans
Monitoring and review systems

Recommendations are designed to be clear, measurable, realistic, and manageable for teachers and families.

Teacher Consultation and Classroom Strategies

Teachers are often the first people to notice that a student is struggling. Consultation helps teachers understand what may be happening beneath the behaviour and how to respond more effectively.

Teacher guidance may include:

Managing attention and impulsivity

Improving classroom participation
Giving effective instructions
Supporting transitions and changes in routine
Using positive behaviour strategies

Training topics may include:

Understanding when and where to refer a student

Workshops can be delivered online or in person, depending on location and availability.

Parent Education and School-Based Sessions

Schools can arrange parent seminars, individual parent meetings, or small-group guidance sessions.

Parent sessions may focus on:

Understanding school feedback
Managing behaviour at home
Developing consistent home and school routines
Supporting homework and attention
Responding to emotional outbursts
Understanding assessment reports
Preparing for further professional assessment
Supporting children with ADHD, autism, learning, or developmental needs

Parents
Teachers
School coordinators
Special educators
Clinical psychologists
Developmental paediatricians
Speech and language therapists
Occupational therapists
Behaviour therapists
Other professionals involved in the child’s care

The purpose is to develop a coordinated plan and reduce conflicting recommendations between home, school, and clinical teams.

Behaviour incident documentation
Parent communication systems
Individual support plan templates
Progress-monitoring procedures
Classroom inclusion practices

Stronger Teacher Confidence: Training and consultation help teachers respond consistently and feel better prepared to support students with different developmental needs.
Improved Parent-School Collaboration: Structured guidance reduces blame and helps families and schools work toward the same goals.
Earlier Identification and Referral: Schools receive support in recognising concerns and guiding families toward suitable assessment or specialist services where needed.
Support for Inclusive Education: The partnership helps schools create environments where students with different developmental, behavioural, and learning needs can participate meaningfully.
Multidisciplinary Experience: Recommendations are informed by experience working with children, parents, teachers, psychologists, special educators, therapists, and medical teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you work with individual students referred by our school?

Yes. The appropriate service will depend on the student’s concern, location, available records, parental consent, and whether consultation, observation, screening, assessment, or referral is required.

Can you train our entire teaching team?

Yes. Workshops can be customized for teachers, coordinators, counsellors, learning-support staff, school leadership, or parents.

Do you provide online school consultation?

Yes. Online consultation, staff training, report discussion, support planning, and case conferences can be arranged for schools in different cities and countries.

Can you help us develop Individualized Education Plans?

Yes. Guidance can be provided for developing practical goals, accommodations, support strategies, and progress-monitoring procedures.

Can the school refer parents directly?

A referral pathway can be developed so that parents receive clear information about the available service and can provide informed consent before any student-specific consultation takes place.

Do you provide formal diagnosis for every referred student?

Not every student requires a formal diagnosis. The first step is understanding the concern and deciding whether consultation, classroom support, screening, a comprehensive assessment, or referral to another professional is appropriate. Formal services are provided only within applicable professional and location-based requirements.

Is student information kept confidential?

Student and family information is handled carefully. Before beginning a partnership, the school and service provider should agree on consent, documentation, communication, and confidentiality procedures.

School services are educational, consultative, developmental, and professional-support services. Availability of assessment, diagnosis, therapy, observation, or other regulated services depends on the professional’s credentials, student location, consent, and applicable legal and ethical requirements.

Build a Stronger Student Support System

Whether your school needs help with one student, teacher training, parent education, or a complete student-support partnership, the first step is understanding what your team currently needs.
