Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Bentleigh
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Bentleigh 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 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.
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 Appointments
Multiple sessions ensure a thorough and reliable assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
In-Depth Questionnaires
These are completed by the individual and, if applicable, by parents and teachers to provide a comprehensive understanding of the learning context.
Detailed Report Writing
A detailed report documents assessment outcomes, identifies learning strengths and areas for growth, and provides recommendations for academic support strategies.
Assessments Utilised in the Learning Assessment
