Academic and Learning Difficulties Assessment Ripponlea
In-Depth Academic and Learning Assessment for Children and Adults
Our academic and learning assessment service for Ripponlea 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.
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 is Included in an Academic and Learning Assessment?
Several Assessment Appointments
Multiple sessions allow for a thorough and dependable assessment of academic strengths and challenges.
Thorough Questionnaires
These are undertaken by the individual and, where appropriate, by parents and teachers to help build a thorough understanding of the learning context.
Comprehensive 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 assess cognitive capabilities in children (aged 2+) and adults, providing 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.
- 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.
