Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Gardenvale
In-Depth Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Gardenvale 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 aims to identify potential learning difficulties or developmental delays and determine if 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 is Involved in an Academic and Learning Assessment?
Multiple Assessment Appointments
Multiple sessions ensure a thorough and reliable assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
Detailed Questionnaires
These are completed by the individual and, if relevant, by parents and teachers to support a comprehensive understanding of the learning environment.
Comprehensive 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
- 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 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.
