School psychology and school-based child and family interventions in Singapore

Abstract

This article presents an overview of the range of primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions based on the Singapore Education Ministry-developed whole-school framework for pupil management and support. At the preventive level, a range of school-wide programmes are implemented to provide learning, emotional, and behavioural support for students. Where school-level programmes are inadequate to address specific student concerns, there are school counsellors or teacher-counsellors to work with those at-risk or experiencing difficulties. Students with specific learning disabilities receive in-class or pull-out support from allied educators, often in consultation with educational psychologists from the Ministry. Although parent support and collaboration are often sought, school-based family interventions are not within the purview of schools. This article further discusses issues that may be of concern to schools as they work to support students more effectively.
