Educational Psychology Support and Assessments
Individual Assessments and Consultation
As an Educational Psychologist, I work with children and young people aged 0-25 to consider their educational, developmental and wellbeing needs within a range of educational settings. These needs may be referred to as ‘SEN’, or Special Educational Needs. Assessment is unique to every individual and is always planned around the presenting needs of a child or young person, in advance of our work together.
Assessments may take place as a psychological ‘consultation’, where I meet with school staff and parents/carers to discuss a child or young person. In a consultation approach, we work collaboratively to identify the main presenting strengths and needs and determine next steps. I always provide a written record of my involvement.
Alternatively, a full psychological assessment may be required. A full psychological assessment would typically include:
- Observation of a pupil in their educational setting.
- Direct work to gain the pupil’s views of school.
- Direct assessment work to look at a pupil’s individual areas of strength and need. This could be done by completing standardised assessments of their learning, dynamic assessment and play-based work, or using wider measures to consider things like their social and emotional wellbeing within school.
- Meeting with school staff and parents/carers to discuss assessment findings and actions and next steps.
- All assessments include a written report sent to school and parents/carers, summarising the assessments completed and recommendations for support and provision within their educational setting.
I accept assessment requests directly from schools and parents. The cost of an assessment varies depending on the work required, please contact me to discuss your full requirements and what could be right for you.
