Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Prahran
In-Depth Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Prahran residents offers a thorough evaluation of an individual’s academic performance, covering key areas including mathematics, reading, writing, spelling, listening, and oral language skills.
Our psychologist works to identify potential learning difficulties or developmental delays and assess whether an individual may meet the criteria for a Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) diagnosis.
With insights gained across these areas, our adult and child psychologists are able to offer tailored support and recommendations aimed at improving learning outcomes in educational settings.
What Can You Expect from an Academic and Learning Assessment?
A Series of Assessment Appointments
Multiple sessions ensure a thorough and reliable assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
Comprehensive Questionnaires
These are undertaken by the individual and, where appropriate, by parents and teachers to help build a thorough understanding of the learning context.
Professional Report Writing
A thorough report summarises assessment outcomes, identifies learning strengths and areas for development, and recommends strategies to support academic progress.
Measures Utilised in the Learning Assessment
- WISC-V / WPPSI-IV Tests: These tests measure cognitive capabilities in children (aged 2+) and adults, providing valuable insights into reasoning, memory, and processing speed.
- WIAT-III: This academic tool examines skills in reading, written and oral expression, and mathematics from preschool through secondary school.
- BASC-3 Questionnaires: These tools deliver a behavioural and emotional profile from the perspectives of teachers, parents, and the individual, providing valuable insights into factors that may influence academic performance.
