A Bit About Educational Psychology
Helping Children to Realise their Potential
Educational Psychologists help children overcome challenges with learning and/or behaviour. This may include assessing for learning or cognitive disabilities, giftedness, screening for neurological disorders such as ADHD, or offering support with behaviour, social skills, self-esteem, or anxiety.
An Educational Psychologist seeks to find reasons for challenges children may be facing. They work with the adults and environments that surround the child to find solutions tailored to their specific needs and situation.
"Educational Psychologists are 'hope catchers'; when everyone else is finding out what a child cannot do, we explore what they can do and what support they need to be the very best versions of themselves"
Educational Psychology Today (2017)
