Academic Evaluation & Diagnosis: Putting the Pieces of Your Child's Education in Place
Academic Evaluation & Diagnosis is a company that specializes in providing comprehensive assessments for children who may be struggling with learning disabilities, dyslexia, or giftedness. With years of experience and a team of highly qualified professionals, Academic Evaluation & Diagnosis is committed to helping parents and educators understand their child's unique needs and develop effective strategies to support their academic success.
At Academic Evaluation & Diagnosis, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. We understand that each child has their own strengths and challenges when it comes to learning, which is why we take a personalized approach to assessment and diagnosis. Our team works closely with parents, teachers, and other professionals involved in the child's education to gather information about the child's history, behavior patterns, academic performance, and other relevant factors.
Our assessments are designed to provide a comprehensive picture of the child's cognitive abilities, academic skills, social-emotional functioning, and overall development. We use a variety of standardized tests as well as clinical observations and interviews to gather data about the child's strengths and weaknesses. This information is then used to develop an individualized plan for intervention or support.
One area where we specialize is in testing for learning disabilities such as dyslexia. Dyslexia can be difficult to diagnose because it can manifest differently in different individuals. At Academic Evaluation & Diagnosis our team has extensive experience working with children who have dyslexia or other reading difficulties. We use specialized tests such as the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement-IV (WJ-IV) Reading Fluency subtest which measures reading speed while maintaining accuracy; The Gray Oral Reading Test (GORT) which assesses oral reading fluency; The Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP) which assesses phonological awareness; among others.
We also offer testing for giftedness, which can be just as important as testing for learning disabilities. Gifted children often have unique needs and may require specialized educational programs or accommodations to reach their full potential. Our team uses a variety of tests to assess cognitive abilities such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V) and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC-II).
At Academic Evaluation & Diagnosis, we understand that assessment is just the first step in helping children succeed academically. That's why we also offer consultation services to help parents and educators develop effective strategies based on our assessment results. We work closely with schools, therapists, tutors, and other professionals involved in the child's education to ensure that everyone is working together towards a common goal.
In conclusion, Academic Evaluation & Diagnosis is a company dedicated to helping children with learning disabilities, dyslexia or giftedness reach their full potential by providing comprehensive assessments and personalized support. Our team of highly qualified professionals has years of experience working with children from diverse backgrounds and with different needs.
