Academic Skills Assessments

An Academic Skills Assessment will help identify individual learning strengths and weaknesses to understand your child’s literacy and/or numeracy development, and their support needs. On completion of the assessment, you are provided with a report that outlines which areas the school and/or tutor should target along with recommended strategies and resources to support them.

Conducted by an experienced Special Education teacher.

  • Assesses a student’s skill development and performance across literacy and/or numeracy
  • Provides recommendations and strategies that can be used by schools, parents and tutors to support the student in their education.

An Academic Skills Assessment will not provide a diagnosis of a specific learning difficulty (Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia). Only a psychologist can provide this diagnosis. See SPELD SA Psychological Assessment service.
