Learning Assessments
If your child is struggling academically despite putting in effort and not being lazy, and they struggle to grasp concepts or perform well on tests, there’s a possibility that they may have a learning disability. In such a situation, it is advisable to consider having your child evaluated to understand the underlying reasons for their academic challenges.
By conducting a series of tests, evaluations, and clinical interviews, we will understand what stands between your child and academic success
What is a learning Assessment?
Learning assessment comprises the evaluation of cognitive and education domains. It is possible to measure a variety of cognitive aptitude domains, such as:
- Verbal Comprehension
- Working Memory
- Processing Speed
- Perceptual Reasoning
- Ability to retrieve and apply learned word knowledge
- Ability to analyze and interpret visual information and use it to problem-solve
- Ability to mentally hold and manipulate information for a short period
- Ability to work at speed and concentrate on a task
In addition, the evaluation offers a descriptive range of the person’s Full-Scale IQ (e.g., High Average), which gives a general idea of their intellectual capacity compared to other individuals examined at the same age. Instead of disclosing raw results, we give a range so you can see how the person is doing about their age.
An educational assessment evaluates a person’s aptitude in four main subject areas:
Reading
The ability to read in various contexts, including fundamental reading (recognizing and decoding words) and reading comprehension (grasping written passages).
Writing
Proficiency in various writing-related skills, including written expression (i.e., sentence construction and spelling)
Mathematical proficiency
Mathematical proficiency, or the ability to calculate quickly and accurately in written form, is one of the many mathematical skills.
Oral expression
Proficiency in several areas of oral expression, including expressive vocabulary (vocal vocabulary and word production).
Advantages of a Comprehensive
Learning Assessment
Analyzing the differences between the cognitive and academic exam findings helps determine whether the person is performing at the expected level for their intellectual capacity. That is, if the person is realizing all of their potential. Discrepancies could indicate a particular learning condition, disability, or intellectual giftedness.
What does a
learning assessment entail?
A psychologist’s learning assessment usually entails the following:
- A clinical interview to get detailed background data, including social, educational, and developmental histories. Requests for school reports are possible.
- Surveys that must be completed. This is usually done by the child, parents, and teachers for a child.
- Trained psychologists perform standardized psychometric testing.
- A feedback session includes a written report with clinical suggestions and an oral discussion of the assessment’s results.
