Child Psychology - Find a Child Psychologist

Assessment

Our chartered educational psychologists are specialists in assessing the kind of facilities which a child needs to learn successfully. We have an initial telephone consultation with parents, who can choose for us to visit children in their school, to observe them in class and discuss progress with staff; or see them at home.

We work with the child using specially-designed tasks and tests to detect specific difficulties and measure a child’s strengths and weaknesses. We also find out how quickly and easily the child can learn, and what approaches will help.

We then write a full report of our assessment, which includes practical advice for parents and teachers on ways to support the child’s progress.

The whole process usually takes around three hours; but can be more if the child has very complex learning difficulties.
