Educational Assessment in southern Adelaide and the Fleurieu
Educational assessment for children, adolescents and adults at our three southern Adelaide practices.
About our educational assessments
Educational assessments can help identify an individual’s learning strengths and difficulties, and provide a clearer understanding of factors that may be affecting progress at school, university or other learning environments.
Assessment may examine cognitive abilities and academic skills such as reading, writing and mathematics, depending on the individual’s needs and reason for referral.
Our approach
Educational assessments can assist in identifying specific learning difficulties, including dyslexia and dyscalculia, and inform practical recommendations for learning support and accommodations.
Following assessment, findings and recommendations are discussed with the individual and/or family and provided in a comprehensive written report.
What the assessment process involves
Initial discussion
Your psychologist discusses your concerns and the purpose of assessment, and confirms whether an educational assessment is the right fit.
Assessment appointments
The number and length of appointments depends on the type of assessment and the person being assessed. Your psychologist will confirm what is required at the initial discussion.
Report and recommendations
You receive a detailed written report with findings and practical, evidence-informed recommendations to support intervention planning, educational support and access to services.
