Psychological Services

At St. Augustine CHS, we are so fortunate to be working with Dr. Martha Lacasse. She keeps office hours at the school on Wednesdays.

In her role as school psychologist, Dr. Lacasse:

• works with the school Administration and Department Head of Special Education to determine assessment needs
• consults and assists in identifying students with specific learning needs
• can provide short-term support for high-risk students who are experiencing a personal or family crisis
• liaises with other medical professionals and community agencies

YCDSB psychologists work to assist schools in the practical application of strategies for students with identified cognitive issues. While they may provide some consultation about social/emotional issues as they arise, they are not available for long-term therapeutic support.
