Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Windsor
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Windsor provides a comprehensive look at an individual’s academic performance, examining 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.
Through understanding these areas, our adult and child psychologists may provide targeted support and recommendations to help improve learning outcomes in educational settings.
What Does an Academic and Learning Assessment Include?
Multiple Assessment Sessions
Multiple appointments help ensure a comprehensive and reliable evaluation of academic strengths and challenges.
Thorough Questionnaires
These are filled out by the individual and, where applicable, by parents and teachers to provide a well-rounded understanding of the learning context.
Detailed Report Writing
A detailed report summarises assessment outcomes, identifies learning strengths and areas for improvement, and recommends strategies for academic support.
Tests 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 assesses 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.
