Our specialist assessments
We specialise in individual and combined assessments for the following specific learning difficulties, for children and young people aged 8 and above:
- Dyslexia
- Dyscalculia (difficulty with numbers)
- Dysgraphia (difficulties with handwriting)
Stage 1: getting started
Every assessment starts with a meeting with your Educational Psychologist, to gather background information and clarify the goals of your assessment. The process may vary slightly depending on the focus of your assessment, and all assessments use standardised tools in line with best-practice guidelines.
Stage 2: cognitive assessment
We use the Wechsler intelligence scales to build a full cognitive profile of strengths and difficulties, including:
- Verbal comprehension
- Visual-spatial ability
- Fluid reasoning
- Working memory
- Processing speed
- Quantitative reasoning
- Auditory working memory
- Non-verbal ability
- General ability (IQ)
- Cognitive proficiency
Stage 3: further assessment tasks
A variety of further assessment tools are used, tailored to the focus of your assessment. These can include language and handwriting tasks, answering questions and reading and numeracy tasks.
Your feedback and report
To conclude the assessment, you’ll have a feedback appointment to discuss the outcome and findings. You’ll also receive a comprehensive report, which can be shared with school or educational support staff. The report includes a detailed overview of the findings and recommendations for any learning supports or adjustments.
