Educational Assessment helps you and your child's teachers to make informed decisions about your child's learning needs at home and at school. Gain valuable insights into your child's learning strengths and weaknesses and identify areas that may need intervention.
Learning disabilities affect your child’s ability to learn and enjoy school. It is vital to get an early diagnosis and implement effective intervention programs and strategies. A full Educational Assessment by a qualified Educational Psychologist is the first step.
School Readiness assessment helps you to make an informed decision about your child's school readiness.
