Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Hampton
Comprehensive Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Hampton 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 is Included in an Academic and Learning Assessment?
Multiple Assessment Appointments
Multiple appointments help ensure a comprehensive and reliable evaluation 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.
Detailed Report Writing
A detailed report summarises assessment outcomes, identifies learning strengths and areas for improvement, and recommends strategies for academic support.
Measures Utilised in the Learning Assessment
- WISC-V / WPPSI-IV Tests: These tests measure cognitive capabilities in children (aged 2+) and adults, providing valuable 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 provide a behavioural and emotional profile from the perspectives of teachers, parents, and the individual, offering valuable insights into factors influencing academic performance.
