Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Ormond
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Ormond 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.
With insights gained across these areas, our adult and child psychologists are able to offer tailored support and recommendations aimed at improving learning outcomes in educational settings.
What Does an Academic and Learning Assessment Include?
Multiple Assessment Appointments
Multiple sessions allow for a thorough and dependable assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
Detailed 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.
Measures 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.
