What is Educational Psychology?
Educational Psychology provides an understanding of and support for children and young people’s learning, development and wellbeing.
An Educational Psychologist (EP) can provide consultations and assessments about a child’s learning, social skills, emotional wellbeing and/or behaviour so that families and nursery/school staff can better understand how and why a child may be learning or developing differently from their peers.
Psychological Assessment may include some or all of the following: consultation, observations, questionnaires and 1:1 assessments. Each assessment is bespoke to the child, depending on the concerns raised and the child’s presenting strengths and difficulties.
The EP then draws upon the assessment findings and their knowledge of psychology and child development, in collaboration with the family and nursery/school staff, to develop a shared understanding about the child and identify strategies, interventions and provision that will lead to the best outcomes for a child.
