What does the job involve?
Educational psychologists help children or young people at school who are experiencing social or emotional problems or who have learning difficulties. They work with children and young people individually or in groups, and with teachers, parents, social workers and other professionals. They will also provide training for teachers and other professionals.
Kate Fallon, general secretary of the Association of Educational Psychologists, says: "The children range from those who have been diagnosed with complex special educational needs not long after birth right through to young people who are struggling in the classroom or who have experienced a bereavement in the family."
