Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Ormond
Comprehensive Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Ormond 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 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.
By gaining a thorough understanding of these areas, our adult and child psychologists may offer targeted support and recommendations to support better learning outcomes in educational settings.
What Can You Expect from an Academic and Learning Assessment?
Multiple Assessment Sessions
Multiple sessions ensure a thorough and reliable assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
In-Depth Questionnaires
These are filled out by the individual and, where applicable, by parents and teachers to provide a well-rounded understanding of the learning context.
Thorough Report Writing
A comprehensive report outlines assessment outcomes, highlights learning strengths and areas for improvement, and suggests strategies for academic support.
Tests 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 examines skills in reading, written and oral expression, and mathematics from preschool through secondary school.
- BASC-3 Questionnaires: These tools offer a behavioural and emotional profile from the perspectives of teachers, parents, and the individual, supplying meaningful insights into factors that may affect academic performance.
