Diagnostic Assessment for a Specific Learning Difficulty in Mathematics, including Dyscalculia

​

An assessment for a Specific Learning Difficulty impacting maths, including Dyscalculia for children (ages 9-15), consists of a full range of tasks to assess language and reasoning, processing and retrieval, memory and attention, magnitude processing and understanding (related to naming, comparing and ordering physical quantities and numbers, estimating and place value), and maths attainment in basic calculations, computation and problem solving. Some aspects of literacy (reading, spelling) will also be assessed; the specifics will vary depending on the individual. 

 

The assessment takes 3-4 hours. Following the assessment, a detailed confidential report is completed and emailed within 15 working days.

​

The report will include an overview which summarises the child's cognitive profile, their strengths and the impact any cognitive difficulties may have on their learning. It will include a diagnosis of a Specific Learning Difficulty in Mathematics or Dyscalculia if either is supported by the assessment. The remainder of the report includes a summary of the background information provided by home and school, an interpretation of test results and observations and detailed recommendations for support.
