Do I need an educational psychologist?

Educational psychologist assessments can be powerful - but they are not always the right first step. They help most when there's a specific question that other professionals can't answer.

Before booking privately, ask: Has the school requested an EP through the Local Authority? What would the EP help me understand that I don't already know? Will this report be used for a specific application?

Sometimes a clarity session and a school strategy meeting unlock more than an EP report alone.
