Abstract

In the previous chapter, we saw how the work on inclusion has become central to educational psychology practice. If educational psychologists do not acquire the skills to deliver inclusion services they risk, in the most extreme scenario, having their existence threatened; other professional groups will be engaged to handle the challenges that face schools and day care centres. From a historical point of view, there have in general been significant challenges in creating a more inclusive education system; and educational psychologists at the same time have been challenged with respect to helping teachers address the challenges of inclusion. Moreover, many educational psychology service centres, as described before, have had certain difficulties implementing forms of practice that use more consultation. Overall, several interesting things have evolved concurrently: (1) Educational psychologists have been hard put to deliver the consultation services to the degree that had been ideally hoped for, and (2) educational policy visions for a more inclusive education system have proven difficult to bring about.
