Types of Educational Assessments
Lynn at Living Nurture Psychology provides various assessments to address different educational needs:
-
Lynn's psychoeducational assessments examine cognitive abilities, academic achievements, and behavioural factors. This approach can help identify learning difficulties like Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, or Dyscalculia. These insights lead to effective recommendations for educational interventions and support services.
-
Educational assessment focuses on reading, writing, and mathematics skills to determine specific learning difficulties. Lynn uses a combination of standardised tests, observations, and interviews to understand the root causes of learning challenges. Based on the results, she recommends the best educational strategies to address these difficulties.
-
For parents preparing their children for school, these assessments evaluate basic skills, social interaction, and behavioural readiness. Lynn's assessment process helps determine if a child is ready for formal education and provides guidance on the best educational path.
The Assessment Process
The assessment process at Living Nurture Psychology starts with an initial consultation to discuss your child's development and educational history. Lynn designs a customised assessment plan based on these discussions, including standardised tests like the Wechsler scales, interviews, and behavioural observations to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child's abilities. Once the assessments are complete, she creates a detailed report outlining her findings and specific recommendations for educational interventions and support.

After the assessment, she works with you to create a personalised intervention plan tailored to your child's specific needs. This plan might include recommendations for specialised tutoring, behavioural therapy, or other supportive services. By offering ongoing support, Lynn helps parents and guardians navigate the educational system, providing guidance on how to advocate for their child's educational success.
