No. Over the years, I’ve worked with many children who have not been attending school for a variety of reasons. I have previously seen children at home, in Alternative Provisions, at play group, youth group, and even in the park. I can work wherever the young person is most comfortable, although, as an educational psychologist, I am always interested in seeing where they do their formal learning. If they are not currently attending school for whatever reason, it is often helpful if I can see them interacting in different ways with different people, such as with siblings at home, or other people in a different setting. This helps to give a fuller picture of their strengths and needs.
