Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Gardenvale
Comprehensive Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Gardenvale 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 seeks to identify potential learning difficulties or developmental delays and evaluate whether an individual meets 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?
Multiple Assessment Sessions
Multiple appointments help ensure a comprehensive and reliable evaluation of academic strengths and challenges.
In-Depth Questionnaires
These are undertaken by the individual and, where appropriate, by parents and teachers to help build a thorough understanding of the learning context.
Detailed Report Writing
A thorough report summarises assessment outcomes, identifies learning strengths and areas for development, and recommends strategies to support academic progress.
Tests Utilised in the Learning Assessment
- WISC-V / WPPSI-IV Tests: These tests examine cognitive capabilities in children (aged 2+) and adults, delivering insights into reasoning, memory, and processing speed.
- WIAT-III: This academic tool assesses skills in reading, written and oral expression, and mathematics from preschool through secondary school.
- BASC-3 Questionnaires: These tools provide a behavioural and emotional profile from the perspectives of teachers, parents, and the individual, offering valuable insights into factors influencing academic performance.
