Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Carnegie
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Carnegie residents offers a thorough evaluation of an individual’s academic performance, covering 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 Involved in an Academic and Learning Assessment?
Several Assessment Appointments
Multiple sessions ensure a thorough and reliable assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
Detailed Questionnaires
These are completed by the individual and, if applicable, by parents and teachers to provide a comprehensive understanding of the learning context.
Detailed Report Writing
A thorough report summarises assessment outcomes, identifies learning strengths and areas for development, and recommends strategies to support academic progress.
Tools 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 assesses 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.
