Assessments
for schools
If you need an assessment for a child who is struggling with their learning and failing to make progress.
If you need an assessment within a short time frame.
If you need an EP who will work collaboratively with you and other stakeholders, to develop a shared understanding and action plans.
Educational Psychologists (EPs) are skilled assessors with extensive training in all aspects of child development that affect learning.
An EP assessment will identify the underlying factors that may be holding children back at school and provide strategies for support to help a child achieve their full potential.
EP assessments are broad based and cover all the different factors that may be affecting children. They will take into account your particular school culture and processes, and can unite families and schools by identifying a clear way forward.
An Educational Psychology assessment involves:
Meeting the pupil either at school or in our consulting rooms.
Spending time talking with and observing the pupil.
Carrying out tests of intellectual development and academic achievement.
A home/school consultation meeting to feedback the psychologist's findings immediately after the assessment.
A full written report within two weeks.
