Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Windsor
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Windsor provides a comprehensive look at an individual’s academic performance, examining 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.
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 Included in an Academic and Learning Assessment?
A Series of 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 documents assessment outcomes, identifies learning strengths and areas for growth, and provides recommendations for academic support strategies.

- 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.
