Institute broadly deals with the following areas of activities.
OBJECTIVES:
According to National Association of School Psychology (NASP), School psychologists are uniquely qualified members of school teams that support students' ability to learn and teachers' ability to teach. They apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior, to help children and youth succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally. They create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community. Their working unit is both micro and macro. Their interventions are based on data collected through observations, interview, experiments, psychological and educational assessment. Their work is more challenging as they can predict unobserved by observed data. Since, there is limited knowledge about description and application of Psychological tests.
