The Role Of An Educational Psychologist
The primary role of an Educational Psychologist is to assess for and identify the exceptional needs of a struggling learner, which may have resulted from developmental delays or deficits in his/her learning and social-emotional functioning in the educational setting. The easiest way to think about a child’s exceptional needs is to view them as a mismatch in the child between what is (i.e., the child’s present level of functioning) and what parents and teachers consider what should be (i.e., what the child ought to be achieving).
Special educational needs, learning difficulties (such as dyslexia), emotional and behavioural problems and exceptionally able children all fall within the scope of the educational psychologist’s expertise. The educational psychologist is qualified to give advice based on expert assessment and observation of the child’s strengths and weaknesses, drawing upon knowledge of child psychology, child development and education. At DAS International assessments are conducted by registered psychologists, who assess for concerns related to learning and behavioural difficulties such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Upon receiving a referral of a child, the Educational Psychologist proceeds to gain a better understanding of the referral concerns and where necessary, develops an assessment plan based on the highlighted concerns. The psychologist subsequently carries out the assessment, which may involve structured interviews, as well as direct observations or administration of tests for the child, to establish an assessment profile. Following this, the psychologist shares the findings and diagnosis (if any) with the child’s parents or guardians, along with recommendations for learning support and strategies. With these recommendations in place, it is hoped that the child can learn at his/her own pace and achieve academic performance that better reflects their potential.
- Hold a preliminary discussion with parents or guardians to understand further referral concerns and gather information about a child’s learning and developmental history.
- Where necessary, gather information from professionals who have worked with the child. These professionals can include the child’s teachers or educational/speech-language/ occupational therapists.
- Make direct observations and/or assessments of the child.
- Conduct an assessment debrief involving parents or guardians to share the outcome and recommendations based on their child’s assessment profile.
- Prepare a psychological report, which is a record of the child’s background and presenting concerns, assessments conducted and recommendations. The report is written as far as possible in non-technical language so that it can be clearly understood.
You are welcome to contact DAS International for further information if you have any specific questions about an assessment of your child at enquiry@dasint.org.sg

Educational Psychological Assessments
What assessment materials and techniques does DAS International use?
Assessment can be about answering specific questions about a child’s educational development
- Is he dyslexic?
- Is his inattention appropriate for his age?
- What can we do to help her pass her Maths exam?
Assessment can be about answering specific questions about a child’s educational development
- Is she doing as well as we can expect?
- What sort of school might be best at the secondary stage?
- How should his education be supplemented to overcome his difficulties?
That’s why we always ask what the purpose(s) of the request for assessment is/are.
We provide assessment services to answer these different questions, starting with what has been done up to the present. Specifically, so we would like to know about previous assessments and interventions (e.g. speech and language therapy or occupational therapy), in as much detail as possible. We also need parents’ views and observations, and we prefer parents to ask the child’s teacher(s) for opinions and observations on how the child performs in school.
We look carefully at what parents send us and formulate an assessment plan, suggesting what we consider to be the best ways to answer the questions. We can discuss this via video conferencing, or we can invite parents (and sometimes the child) to an initial consultation to discuss what might be done.
Depending on the questions to be answered, the psychologist might use either the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 5th Edition, the Singapore Ability Scales, or some combination. There may also be some value in using some aspects of dynamic assessment, including informal tasks and games, and tests and questionnaires of “executive functioning” (including attention control, short-term memory, motivation). The aim is to develop a picture of the child’s strengths and difficulties in handling a variety of learning tasks. The child’s own feelings and attitudes to learning, especially as they pass the age of 10, is at the centre of this investigation. We want to identify what the child finds hard and so look for ways of helping, as well as what the child finds easy, and so what resources they bring to their learning.
The educational psychologist may administer tests of educational attainments, such as from the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test, 4th Edition. If there is a particular focus on one academic area, then more detailed assessments might be used, to try to make clearer what the child’s strengths and difficulties in this particular area are. The areas we most often look at in-depth are reading, writing and spelling, oral language and maths.
Overlapping with both cognitive and educational assessments, we may want more detailed pictures in some particular areas of cognitive functioning. For phonological abilities, where we might use the Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing or the Phonological Abilities Battery. For attention, we might use the computerised Test of Variables of Attention. Parents and teachers may be asked to complete survey forms that provide further insight into a child’s learning and behaviour in various settings.
Following the assessment, the psychologist will consolidate the findings and share them with parents. Conclusions and where diagnoses (if any), along with recommendations will be discussed with parents as well. As quickly as 2 weeks after the assessment debrief session, we will provide a report documenting the assessment process, outcome and recommendations. We aim to summarize the findings and recommendations as succinctly as we can.
We also aim to consider how adults can explain the conclusions of the assessment to the children concerned, and so we will suggest possible ways to do so, which will help the child and family go forward in learning or social development.
