Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Carnegie
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Carnegie 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 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.
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 is Included in an Academic and Learning Assessment?
Multiple Assessment Sessions
Multiple sessions allow for a thorough and dependable assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
Thorough Questionnaires
These are completed by the individual and, if applicable, by parents and teachers to provide a comprehensive understanding of the learning context.
Comprehensive Report Writing
A detailed report documents assessment outcomes, identifies learning strengths and areas for growth, and provides recommendations for academic support strategies.
Measures 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 examines skills in reading, written and oral expression, and mathematics from preschool through secondary school.
- BASC-3 Questionnaires: These tools generate a behavioural and emotional profile from the perspectives of teachers, parents, and the individual, yielding valuable insights into factors that may contribute to academic performance.
