We begin with a detailed discussion with parents or guardians to gather important information about your child’s learning history, strengths, weaknesses, and any specific concerns.
Our psychologists administer a variety of assessments tailored to your child’s age and needs. These sessions typically involve:
We conclude the process with a comprehensive feedback session to discuss the assessment results, identify strengths and weaknesses, and provide personalised recommendations. Our psychologists are committed to creating a supportive and informative environment, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of your child’s unique learning profile.
In some cases, a combination of assessments may be necessary to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a child’s strengths and weaknesses. This may be particularly helpful for children with complex learning profiles or those who require a more in-depth evaluation.
Here are some scenarios where a combination of assessments may be beneficial:
A diagnostic assessment in education is a detailed evaluation used to identify a student’s strengths, challenges, and specific learning needs. It helps uncover underlying difficulties such as dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning differences, enabling tailored support and intervention.
Academic testing measures a student’s knowledge, skills, and progress in areas like reading, writing, and mathematics. These tests help assess performance against age-appropriate benchmarks and identify areas requiring additional focus.
An educational assessment typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the type of assessment and the age of the student. This includes breaks to ensure comfort and optimal performance during testing.
Educational assessments are suitable for children as young as 4 years old and extend through adolescence. They are particularly beneficial during critical learning stages or when challenges in academic progress arise.
