Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Bentleigh
Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Bentleigh 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.
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?
Multiple Assessment Appointments
Multiple appointments help ensure a comprehensive and reliable evaluation of academic strengths and challenges.
Thorough Questionnaires
These are undertaken by the individual and, where appropriate, by parents and teachers to help build a thorough understanding of the learning context.
Comprehensive Report Writing
A comprehensive report outlines assessment outcomes, highlights learning strengths and areas for improvement, and suggests strategies for academic support.
Assessments Utilised in the Learning Assessment
- WISC-V / WPPSI-IV Tests: These tests evaluate cognitive capabilities in children (aged 2+) and adults, offering insights into reasoning, memory, and processing speed.
- WIAT-III: This academic tool evaluates 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.
