• Identify needs and promote change through the application of psychological knowledge for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities relating to emotional and behavioural difficulties
• Develop skills in the critical evaluation of research and produce systematically conducted research syntheses to inform practice and policy decisions.
• Promote the place of enquiry and empirical research as a method that can support and inform decision-making processes for key partners such as educational settings, local authorities and other relevant organisations.
• Demonstrate knowledge and application of evidence based practices, taking account of normal progression and development, and the modifications necessary to support effective learning and development for children, young people and young adults with special educational needs and disabilities relating to emotional and behavioural difficulties.

The module extends the topics in PSYC 6071 to explore internalising and externalising behaviours and their effect on child development and learning. In addition, it considers assessment frameworks (Behavioural, Systemic, Cognitive) and Interventions derived from these frameworks, such as counselling approaches and family therapy. There is a close relationship with skills taught in Psychology in Professional Practice 2 and Consultation, Assessment and Intervention

Core content in this module is covered mostly through taught sessions, with use also of some problem-based learning sessions. Additionally, trainees have the opportunity on placement to develop their knowledge and understanding of complex emotional and behavioural difficulties.
