Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Caulfield
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Caulfield 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.
By understanding these areas, our adult and child psychologists offer targeted support and recommendations to improve learning outcomes in educational settings.
What Does an Academic and Learning Assessment Include?
A Series of Assessment Appointments
Multiple sessions are conducted to support a thorough and consistent assessment 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.
Comprehensive Report Writing
A detailed report documents assessment outcomes, identifies learning strengths and areas for growth, and provides recommendations for academic support strategies.
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 deliver a behavioural and emotional profile from the perspectives of teachers, parents, and the individual, providing valuable insights into factors that may influence academic performance.
