Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Brighton
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Brighton 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 Does an Academic and Learning Assessment Include?
A Series of Assessment Appointments
Multiple sessions allow for a thorough and dependable assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
Thorough Questionnaires
These are completed by the individual and, if relevant, by parents and teachers to support a comprehensive understanding of the learning environment.
Professional 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 examine cognitive capabilities in children (aged 2+) and adults, delivering 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 provide a behavioural and emotional profile from the perspectives of teachers, parents, and the individual, offering valuable insights into factors influencing academic performance.
