Abstract

AbstractStudents with disabilities and learning difficulties in Australia are part of a school system that is becoming increasingly inclusive. Within this system, the educational psychologist plays several different roles as a participant in ascertaining the students and in determining their level of support. Increasingly, the educational psychologist is also associated with planning and making suggestions related to the teaching and evaluation of the students’ programmes. The challenges faced by the educational psychologist are linked to concerns of the parents and teachers. Solutions to challenges in two areas, assessment and collaboration, are considered in this article.
