Educational & Dyslexia Assessments for Children

Educational Assessment

​

Supporting Students to Reach Their Full Potential

​

At ClearPath Assessments, the psychologists provide comprehensive educational assessments to identify a student’s learning strengths and challenges. Our goal is to support children, adolescents, and young adults in achieving their academic potential by better understanding how they learn.

​

Whether a student is experiencing difficulties in literacy, numeracy, attention, or school performance more generally, an educational assessment can uncover the underlying reasons and provide a clear path forward.

​

What is an Educational Assessment?

​

An educational assessment is a structured process conducted by a registered psychologist to evaluate cognitive abilities, academic skills, and learning processes. It is designed to:

   •    Understand how a student learns
   •    Identify any barriers to learning
   •    Provide diagnostic clarification (e.g., Specific Learning Disorders such as Dyslexia)
   •    Support applications for school-based accommodations or extra exam time
   •    Inform tailored learning and support strategies

​

Assessing Specific Learning Disabilities

​

A key part of our service is the assessment of Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs) in areas such as:

   •    Reading (Dyslexia) - Difficulty with reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension.
   •    Writing (Dysgraphia) - Challenges with spelling, grammar, and written expression.
   •    Mathematics (Dyscalculia)- Struggles with number sense, calculation, and problem-solving.

​

We follow best-practice, evidence-based guidelines, using tools aligned with DSM-5 criteria and current educational standards.

​

What does the Assessment involve?

​

Our educational assessments typically include:

   1.    Initial Consultation - Understanding your concerns, background, and goals for the assessment.
   2.    Standardised Testing - Psychometric testing of cognitive (IQ) and academic functioning.
   3.    Comprehensive Report - A detailed report with results, diagnostic clarification, and personalised recommendations.
   4.    Feedback Session - A face-to-face or telehealth meeting to discuss findings and next steps.

​

​

Who May Benefit?

​

Educational assessments may be helpful if a student:

   •    Is struggling with reading, writing, or maths
   •    Has a history of underachievement despite effort

   •    Requires formal evidence for learning accommodations or school support
