Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Elwood
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Elwood 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 works to identify potential learning difficulties or developmental delays and assess 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 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.
Comprehensive 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 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 examine cognitive capabilities in children (aged 2+) and adults, delivering insights into reasoning, memory, and processing speed.
- WIAT-III: This academic tool measures skills in reading, written and oral expression, and mathematics from preschool through secondary school.
