This includes the development of children&#8217;s overall mental well-being, as well as their learning. Educational psychologists work collaboratively with pupils, parents\/carers, education staff, and other professional to help identify educational needs, and barriers to learning. Educational psychologists then work to develop strategies to address these needs and barriers.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, educational psychologists also carry out research.
