How an Educational Psychologist can help

Educational Psychologists will work in collaboration with parents and schools to complete a range of assessments, observations and consultations to complete a thorough assessment of a child or young person’s needs, to understand strengths and difficulties, to make recommendations for support and provision.

​​

What to expect from an Educational Psychologist assessment

​

Based on the information gathered during the initial consultation, we will complete a tailored assessment. The exact nature of the assessment will be designed specifically for the child, but would typically involve a classroom observation, further discussions with school staff and the completion of one-to-one assessment activities. 

 

After the assessment we will provide detailed feedback and recommendations for promoting positive lasting change. This will include a discussion, written report and ideally an action planning and review meeting.

 

Our Educational Psychology assessments and advice adhere to the Children and Families Act 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice 2015. Our experienced Educational Psychologists are adept at efficiently gathering crucial information to understand each child's unique needs affecting their learning.

Reports will provide:

  • ​specific recommendations/strategies/provision targeted as to the assessment and the child’s needs and outcomes recommended, unless there are clearly stated reasons for not doing so.include parent’s/carers, child and school/teacher’s perspective in a clear, succinct and focused manner, avoiding lengthy narratives.​

​

  • maintain a balance of information from all parties to inform a clear conclusion with a focus on the child and the child’s needs.

​

  • accurately identify the needs that are in the child’s interests – not influenced by a party’s wishes, time constraints or lack of resources. These identified needs may differ from what other professionals, parents/carers, teachers perceive to be the child’s needs.

​​

  • record results from assessments / subtests where appropriate and beneficial, and a brief descriptor of how this score will impact the child.

​​

  • explain the assessment findings in layman’s terms but ensuring descriptions are succinct and focused to the purpose of the report

​Fee: cost to be discussed at the time of booking, as this is dependent on what is required.
