Psychometric Testing
Academic testing provides an overview of a child’s current performance across a range of academic domains. We use the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT-III; 4-50 years) with subtests including:
- Oral Expression
- Listening Comprehension
- Written Expression
- Spelling
- Pseudoword Decoding
- Word Reading
- Reading Comprehension
- Numerical Operations
- Maths Reasoning
The assessment provides a rich source of information about an individual's achievement skills, allowing the assessment of problem-solving ability by evaluating processing skills. This enables curriculum and intervention decisions to be made with confidence. Testing also allows a direct comparison of an individual's intellectual capabilities with his/her academic performance.
