Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Ripponlea
Comprehensive Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Ripponlea residents provides an in-depth evaluation of an individual’s academic performance, focusing 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.
By understanding these areas, our adult and child psychologists offer targeted support and recommendations to improve learning outcomes in educational settings.
What Does an Academic and Learning Assessment Include?
Multiple Assessment Sessions
Multiple sessions allow for a thorough and dependable assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
Thorough Questionnaires
These are completed by the individual and, if relevant, by parents and teachers to support a comprehensive understanding of the learning environment.
Detailed Report Writing
A comprehensive report outlines assessment outcomes, highlights learning strengths and areas for improvement, and suggests strategies for academic support.
Assessments 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.
