In these assessments we look at your child’s cognitive abilities (also known as IQ testing), and we also investigate their academic abilities (i.e. how they are actually going across areas such as mathematics, reading, spelling, comprehension). This testing can highlight things such as:

-       Specific learning disorders. These include difficulties with reading (dyslexia), writing and mathematics 

-       Giftedness

-       Learning anxiety 

-       Intellectual disability 

While these are lifelong conditions, there is evidence that early intervention can improve outcomes. Also, as a child gets older and the academic demands increase we are able to communicate with the school to accommodate the child’s need and ‘level the playing field’ so they are not at a disadvantage when compared to their peers. 

sometimes we have a child that is gifted and requires a more tailored approach to learning. Identifying giftedness can assist to get your child into the best learning environment, and reduce the likelihood of boredom and associated challenging behaviours or loss of motivation. 

Identifying intellectual disability will assist to ensure your child is receiving the level of support that they require. Having access to the best levels of support will assist your child to have a fulfilling school experience and work to improve independence.
