Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Hampton
In-Depth Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Hampton 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 seeks to identify potential learning difficulties or developmental delays and evaluate whether an individual meets 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 is Included in an Academic and Learning Assessment?
A Series of Assessment Appointments
Multiple sessions ensure a thorough and reliable assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
Detailed 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.
Professional Report Writing
A detailed report documents assessment outcomes, identifies learning strengths and areas for growth, and provides recommendations for academic support strategies.
Measures 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 examines skills in reading, written and oral expression, and mathematics from preschool through secondary school.
- BASC-3 Questionnaires: These tools offer a behavioural and emotional profile from the perspectives of teachers, parents, and the individual, supplying meaningful insights into factors that may affect academic performance.
