ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES

1. Psycho-Educational Assessments

Psycho-educational assessments focus on cognitive, scholastic and emotional functioning of the learner. This assessment technique is appropriate for school-going learners. It is useful for understanding your child's current functioning and how it relates to his or her learning. Recommendations are made to assist the child in maximising his/her potential at school. The assessment includes:  

• Cognitive, educational & emotional assessments

• Neuro-developmental screenings

• Sensory processing identification in relation to learning

 

2. School Accommodations/Concession Assessments
