Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Malvern
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Malvern 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 seeks to identify potential learning difficulties or developmental delays and evaluate whether an individual meets the criteria for a Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) diagnosis.
By gaining a thorough understanding of these areas, our adult and child psychologists may offer targeted support and recommendations to support better learning outcomes in educational settings.
What Can You Expect from an Academic and Learning Assessment?
Multiple Assessment Sessions
Multiple sessions are conducted to support a thorough and consistent assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
In-Depth Questionnaires
These are completed by the individual and, if relevant, by parents and teachers to support a comprehensive understanding of the learning environment.
Professional Report Writing
A comprehensive report outlines assessment outcomes, highlights learning strengths and areas for improvement, and suggests strategies for academic support.
Tools 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 measures skills in reading, written and oral expression, and mathematics from preschool through secondary school.
- BASC-3 Questionnaires: These tools offer a behavioural and emotional profile from the perspectives of teachers, parents, and the individual, supplying meaningful insights into factors that may affect academic performance.
