Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Brighton
Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Brighton delivers a detailed review of an individual’s academic performance, with a focus on key areas such as mathematics, reading, writing, spelling, listening, and oral language skills.
Our psychologist endeavours to identify potential learning difficulties or developmental delays and determine whether an individual may meet the criteria for a Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) diagnosis.
Through understanding these areas, our adult and child psychologists may provide targeted support and recommendations to help improve learning outcomes in educational settings.
What Can You Expect from an Academic and Learning Assessment?
Multiple Assessment Appointments
Multiple appointments help ensure a comprehensive and reliable evaluation of academic strengths and challenges.
Detailed Questionnaires
These are undertaken by the individual and, where appropriate, by parents and teachers to help build a thorough understanding of the learning context.
Thorough Report Writing
A thorough report summarises assessment outcomes, identifies learning strengths and areas for development, and recommends strategies to support academic progress.
Assessments Utilised in the Learning Assessment
- WISC-V / WPPSI-IV Tests: These tests assess cognitive capabilities in children (aged 2+) and adults, providing 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.
