Psychological Case Consultation

Assessing or supporting a student with visual impairment, blindness, deafblindness, or CVI requires looking beyond standard psychoeducational protocols. VI Psych provides peer-to-peer clinical consultation to help psychologists navigate complex visual access needs, select valid assessment measures, and design appropriate educational accommodations.

Complimentary Consultation for Ontario School-Board Psychologists

To support school teams across Ontario, we offer a complimentary 30-minute case consultation for school-based psychologists tasked with assessing a child with a visual impairment

Included in the free 30-minute consultation:

Recommended testing tools and valid assessment measures for your student's specific visual skillset.
Appropriate testing adaptations and modifications, and how these impact interpretation.
General interpretation guidance and guidance on disentangling visual access from learning differences.

Note: Specific diagnostic interpretation of a student's individual test protocols is excluded from the complimentary service due to clinical liability.

Requirements & Preparation:

Joint Attendance: To ensure complete context, both the school psychologist and the Vision Itinerant Teacher (TVI) must jointly attend the consultation meeting.
Referral Packet & Parent Consent: Prior to scheduling, a completed referral packet and signed parent/guardian consent must be submitted.

Extended Consultation, Supervision, Training, & Subcontracting

If your team requires support beyond the initial 30-minute session, ongoing services are available on a fee-for-service basis:

Extended Case Consultation & Collaboration: Continued multi-session advisory support for complex or multidisciplinary student profiles.
Clinical Supervision: Case-by-case clinical supervision for psychoeducational assessments involving visual impairment, CVI, or deafblindness.
Subcontracted & Co-Evaluations: Direct contracted assessment support or specialized co-evaluation services for school boards or other clinical settings.
Team Training & Speaking Engagements: Professional development workshops, in-services, and presentations for psychology departments, vision teams, and clinical organizations on adapting psychological practice for vision loss.
