Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Prahran
Complete Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Prahran 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 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.
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 is Included in an Academic and Learning Assessment?
A Series of Assessment Appointments
Multiple appointments help ensure a comprehensive and reliable evaluation of academic strengths and challenges.
In-Depth Questionnaires
These are completed by the individual and, if applicable, by parents and teachers to provide a comprehensive understanding of the learning context.
Professional 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 measure cognitive capabilities in children (aged 2+) and adults, providing valuable 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 generate a behavioural and emotional profile from the perspectives of teachers, parents, and the individual, yielding valuable insights into factors that may contribute to academic performance.
