Short assessment by a Specialist Teacher: £180

Following the publication of a new assessment for specialist teachers which generates a report for parents, we are trialling a shorter assessment package. This will be suitable for pupils up to the age of 14 and will require attendance at just one session. The report will be produced by computer analysis of the test scores with some personalised additional comments. It will examine reading, spelling, phonological awareness, processing speed,
short term and working memory, speed of writing and a test of general ability (intelligence). For a few children who have more complex difficulties, as indicated by the results of initial testing, more detailed assessment may be recommended. This will examine any or all of maths ability, oral language, listening, co-ordination and further explore any of the areas in the initial assessment in greater depth. A further appointment may then be suggested which would provide a more detailed report. The cost for this session will be a further £165.

This assessment takes place over two sessions of approximately 2½ hours each. Reading, spelling, maths, general ability, memory, phonological processing and learning style are assessed. A detailed written report is provided with recommendations.
