Welcome to EdPsychologist
Educational Psychology Assessments and Support
Understanding strengths. Identifying needs. Supporting potential.
I am Megan Clerk, a Senior Educational Psychologist and founder of EdPsychologist, an established Educational Psychology practice based in Parkmore, Sandton, Johannesburg.
Since establishing my practice in 2013, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults to better understand their individual strengths, abilities and challenges. My work focuses particularly on children and young people, supporting families in gaining a clearer understanding of learning, development, emotional wellbeing and educational needs.
I believe that every individual has their own unique profile of strengths and abilities. An assessment should not simply identify areas of difficulty, but also provide meaningful insight and practical recommendations that can make a positive difference in everyday life.
At EdPsychologist, I work alongside a trusted team of experienced, qualified and HPCSA-registered Psychometrists. Together, we offer a range of assessment services, with an emphasis on professional care, individual attention and a thorough understanding of each person’s circumstances.
Our Services
* Assessments
Psycho-Educational Assessments
Psycho-educational assessments provide a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s cognitive abilities, academic functioning, learning profile and areas requiring additional support. These assessments can help identify learning difficulties, explore barriers to learning and inform appropriate educational recommendations. Assessments are conducted in person at our Johannesburg offices.
Concession and Accommodation Assessments
Concession and accommodation assessments explore whether a learner may require additional support during formal examinations or other assessment conditions. Recommendations are informed by the individual’s assessment findings, functional needs and the requirements of the relevant examining body. I offer Assessments in line with the IEB, GDE, Impaq, Cambridge, SAICA and other educational bodies. Assessments are conducted in person at our Johannesburg offices.
School Readiness Assessments
School readiness assessments explore a child’s developmental and early learning skills, helping parents gain a better understanding of their child’s readiness for formal schooling. The findings can assist with educational planning, identifying areas for development and making informed decisions about the transition into school. Assessments are conducted in person at our Johannesburg offices.
Subject Choice and Career Guidance
Choosing school subjects, considering future studies or exploring career opportunities can be challenging. Subject choice and career guidance assessments help adolescents and adults develop a better understanding of their interests, abilities, personal characteristics and possible educational or career pathways. These assessments can be conducted online where appropriate.
Medico-Legal Assessments
Medico-legal assessments are an important area of work at EdPsychologist, and I welcome referrals from attorneys and other legal professionals. Our practice undertakes assessments in matters involving personal injury and medical negligence, where the educational, cognitive, developmental or psychological consequences of an injury or medical event require consideration. Depending on the referral questions, assessments may explore educational impact, changes in cognitive and learning functioning, additional educational support needs, and possible loss of educational potential.
We work with experienced, qualified Psychometrists and, where required, qualified translators supplied by the instructing attorneys. Each assessment is approached with consideration of the individual’s circumstances, the available information and the specific questions relevant to the matter.
Attorneys and legal professionals are welcome to contact the practice to discuss assessment referrals and requirements.
A Collaborative Assessment Approach
At EdPsychologist, I am fortunate to work alongside a team of experienced professionals who share my commitment to providing thoughtful and individualised assessment services.
Our Psychometrists bring their own professional knowledge, experience and expertise to the assessment process. Depending on the nature and requirements of an assessment, selected assessment sessions may be conducted by a member of the team.
I personally conduct all initial parent intake interviews and parent feedback consultations, and retain responsibility for the overall Educational Psychology formulation, integration of findings, recommendations and writing of final Educational Psychology reports.
This collaborative approach allows us to draw on the experience of our team while maintaining continuity, professional oversight and individual attention throughout the assessment process.
Additional Psychological Support
Online Psychotherapy
In addition to assessment services, I offer online psychotherapy for individuals seeking psychological support.
Sessions are conducted through a secure online platform, providing an opportunity to explore emotional difficulties, personal challenges and concerns affecting wellbeing.
