Why might I, or my child, need to be assessed - and how will it help?
(5).jpg)
We offer a range of accredited educational and psychological assessments for both children or adults who are looking to find out more about their abilities and advice on how to maximise their skills, strenghts and learning potential. Often this is because a child is having difficulties at home or school, but requests from students in higher education students or adults looking for clarification of their skills are also common.
Having had an assessment by a Chartered Psychologist allows you to seek the support you require, and are often legally entitled to. Children with dyslexia, for example, may be entitled to additional support within the classroom, or special provision for examinations. Adults too are entitled to support and consideration of their particular needs; students entering higher education are often provided with additional technology and academic input to support their studies, and within the workplace, employers can be requested to consider adjustments to help maximise an employee's success and productivity.
What assessments do you offer - and where?
Wherever possible we prefer to provide dyslexia assessments, cognitive assessments, and Gifted/ Talented Assessments at your own home, school or workplace. As long as there is a quiet, private space, we find that this is not only most convenient, but helps to put people at ease, allowing them to relax during the assessment process and provide the most realistic view of their abilities and difficulties. We accept appointments from both individuals and their families, or from professionals as part of educational tribunal or medico-legal procedings. Our full assessment is accompanied by a hand written 10-20 page report that is recognised by schools, universities, exam boards and employers.
We go above and beyond the assessment criteria set out by the British Dyslexia Association usually delivering reports within 4 weeks.
Our educational specialist is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist (HPC & BPS & BDA registered) with more than 11 years working with children and adults.
