Myth: Educational and Developmental Psychologists only work with children, and only in schools.
When AEDPA profiled nine Ed & Dev Psychologists for our last pathway webinar, one of them worked in a school.
The other eight worked in: a rare neurodevelopmental disorders clinical trials centre, a maternity hospital supporting mothers through the perinatal period, youth detention centres and courts. Rural and remote Queensland delivering free services by telepractice, The Royal Children's Hospital, a university lecture theatre, and an adults only private practice working with newly identified neurodivergent adults and burnt-out high achievers.
The scope runs the full lifespan, and it runs well past the school gate.
AEDPA's upcoming webinar covers employability and career opportunities across the field, with "Day in the Life" clips from psychologists working in it.
We also have a live panel of Course Directors from every Educational and Developmental Psychology program in Australia. Sitting among them, an AEDPA Director alongside the current National Chair and National Treasurer of the APS College of Educational and Developmental Psychologists.
