Dyslexia Testing
An Educational Assessment includes cognitive testing (IQ) which provides a profile of individual strengths and weaknesses, as well as scholastic testing of reading, spelling, reading comprehension and mathematical skills. This will assist in the diagnosis of concentration-related difficulties such as ADHD, learning difficulties such as Dyslexia as well as other barriers to learning.
An Educational Assessment can assist with:
– the identification of a suitable school placement (e.g. remedial school)
– the application for concessions through the Department of Education e.g. additional time, a reader, a scribe etc
-determining a suitable intervention plan for the learner, such as recommendations for Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Remedial Tuition etc.
