Scholastic Assessments, Johannesburg
I provide scholastic assessments for children (from 6 years) and adolescents (teenagers). These assessments may be done for various reasons such as understanding poor school performance, picking up learning problems, gaining support for a diagnosis and treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and finding appropriate intervention (extra lessons, remedial assistance, school placement, occupational therapy, speech therapy etc.).
Intellectual assessments provide insight into an individual's cognitive strengths and weaknesses. My standard psychometric battery includes an intellectual and an emotional assessment. The emotional assessment helps gain a better understanding of the child's emotional world and how this - for example anxiety or depression - may impact their ability to function academically, occupationally and socially.
An optional but highly recommended addition to my standard psychometric battery is an educational assessment. Educational assessments further examine reading, mathematics, writing and oral language. These assessments pick up specific problems such as mathematics or reading disorders that intellectual assessments (measuring cognitive ability) often cannot.
My scholastic assessments can also be used for concession applications for both GDE and IEB learners (where appropriate).
