Psychoeducational Assessment

Conditions of Service

When a psychologist is providing professional services to a child who is a minor, the psychologist must obtain informed consent from the minor’s parent/guardian. Generally, a psychologist is not required to obtain informed consent from both of the parents since either parent normally has the right to consent to services for the child. However, if the parents are separated or divorced, the psychologist must make appropriate inquiries to ensure that the adult requesting services is the child’s legal parent/guardian. It is recommended by the College of Alberta Psychologists that psychologists obtain relevant court documentation prior to commencing services.

If a minor's parents are separated or divorced, the clinic will request to view custody/access documentation pertaining to the child client.

The clinic requires consent from all parents or guardians with legal custody. Also, should a custodial parent be in agreement with their child participating in the intervention, but be unable/unwilling to actively participate in the process, he/she will be asked to provide a written (email) statement to that effect.  

During all phases of the intervention, the student-clinician and client may be observed by other students, staff, and faculty members of the clinic. As part of their training, the student-clinician will discuss the intervention process, progress, and outcomes with their Supervising Psychologist and other graduate students.

In order to facilitate the supervision of the student-clinician, any or all aspects of the intervention process, including meetings with the parents/guardians, will be audio and video recorded. When the intervention is complete, these recordings will be destroyed according to University of Calgary retention rules for draft documents and working materials.
