Educational Assessment
For when school feels harder than it should.Some young people struggle at school in ways that aren’t explained by effort or attitude. They work hard, they try, and it still doesn’t come together — with reading, writing, maths, or simply keeping up with the pace of a classroom. This is frustrating for the young person, and often distressing for their family.
An educational assessment can identify specific learning difficulties — including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and other learning differences — and provide the documentation needed to access support, adjustments, and accommodations at school.
What an educational assessment involves:
Our educational assessments look at academic skills alongside the cognitive processes that underlie them — because understanding why someone is struggling is as important as identifying that they are. We gather information from parents and schools as part of the process, and our reports include specific, practical recommendations for teachers and support staff.
For many families, the assessment is also the beginning of a more productive conversation with their child’s school — one grounded in evidence rather than guesswork.
The process includes a feedback session where we walk through findings and discuss how to use the report effectively with school and support services.
