Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Glen Huntly
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Glen Huntly residents provides an in-depth evaluation of an individual’s academic performance, focusing 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 Does an Academic and Learning Assessment Include?
Multiple Assessment Sessions
Multiple appointments help ensure a comprehensive and reliable evaluation of academic strengths and challenges.
In-Depth 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.
Detailed Report Writing
A comprehensive report outlines assessment outcomes, highlights learning strengths and areas for improvement, and suggests strategies for academic support.
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 measures 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.
