Donaldson's is Scotland's national school for pupils who are deaf or have communication difficulties.
All Donaldson's pupils have access to our on-site educational psychologist.
Our educational psychologist works with children, with our teachers and therapists, and with parents to help all our pupils make best progress with their learning. This may be done through direct assessment (with the permission of the parents and the local authority), by observing the pupil in a variety of settings around school, and through consultation with parents and with staff.
Our educational psychologist also links, where appropriate, with other agencies which support our pupils, including their local authority services.
"We try to be solution focussed, and use a team approach to find solutions to some of the problems that arise in people's lives"
