, QUESTION 1
Lesego Shelter, a 10-year-old girl, was driving home with her parents after
their summer holidays at the coast. About 100 kilometres from their home a
truck made an illegal U-turn and their vehicle collided with the truck. Lesego
was in a critical condition but recovered to the extent that she was moved
from the ICU ward to a general ward. Lesego suffers from speech problems
and has difficulty understanding basic concepts.
Lesego’s father filed a case against the Road Accident Fund. The attorney
who acted on behalf of Lesego referred her to an educational psychologist
for an evaluation. With the aid of examples, demonstrate the role of the
educational psychologist in Lesego’s personal injury claims.
The educational psychologist plays an important role in the assessment of the
individual concerned in terms of the following factors:
Preschool or school going age (below 18 years)
Post school age (further education, training at time of injury)
Was the individual at school when injury occurred but since left
Was in tertiary education before injury occurred
Adult at time of injury (resulting in career changes or missing out on opportunities)
Educational psychologists should understand the difference between a brain-
injured child and a child with a developmental learning disability, emotional
difficulties or who is cognitively handicapped, be able to explain them and use
their own and other experts test results to show how the injury will influence the
long-term educational outcome of the brain-injured child.
The aims of the educational psychologist’s report on a brain-injured child are:
To describe the child’s cognitive and educational potential.
Determine how the accident may have influenced these functions.
