About the Krongold Clinic
The Krongold Centre for Exceptional Children was established in 1976 out of a generous donation from Dinah and Henry Krongold to Monash University. Initially it provided direct services to preschool and school-aged children, including therapy and hydrotherapy.
Over the past 50 years the Centre has transformed to the Krongold Clinic with two integrated elements: Krongold Services for children and adolescents, and their families; and Krongold Research Programs.
What is Educational and Developmental Psychology?
Educational and developmental psychology focuses on how people develop and learn throughout their lifetime. Educational and developmental psychologists work with individuals, families, groups, and organisations in a range of settings and have varying roles such as school psychologist, guidance officer, and child and adolescent counsellor.
Services provided by supervised Higher Degree Interns
As a university-based clinic, practice at the Krongold Clinic is informed by the latest research. Our relationship with the university also allows the Krongold to maintain lower fees by providing a facility where Higher Degree Interns (HDIs) can practice under supervision. All work by HDI’s is reviewed by supervising psychologists.
As a Monash University Faculty of Education facility our clinic also exists to improve knowledge and research. During our provision of services to you, you may be asked to assist us in our research and teaching. At no time is any service to any client conditional to give any such permission. This will be explained to you in more detail at your appointments.
