Package 3

Educational and Learning Assessments

This package is available for children from 4 years of age up until adulthood (80 years).

This package will assess your child’s learning difficulties and include a diagnostic report of any specific learning disorders such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia. It will include looking at any related concerns, such as ADHD, emotional and/or social difficulties. At the conclusion of the assessments, you will understand what factors are impacting on your child’s learning.

To save time in your first appointment, please complete the parent referral and background questionnaire form below. When you press submit, your information will be confidentially stored in our business practice software.

All face to face sessions will run for 50 minutes, or multiples thereof, to give the clinician time to make case notes, score and interpret assessments and consider further case formulation.
