  • Learning Assessment

    A Specific Learning Disorder is a neurodevelopmental difference that affects the development and use of skills in reading and spelling (often called dyslexia), written expression (sometimes called dysgraphia), or mathematics (dyscalculia). These difficulties do not reflect a lack of effort or intelligence. A learning assessment explores the person’s strengths and challenges and provides practical recommendations for support at school, in further study, or at work.

Assessment Process

  • An initial consultation is completed before proceeding with an assessment. This appointment provides an opportunity to discuss the presenting concerns, gather relevant background information and determine the most appropriate assessment pathway. The initial consultation is charged separately and is not included in the assessment package fees listed below.

  • A comprehensive clinical interview is conducted with the individual and/or parents or caregivers (for children and adolescents). This includes exploration of:

    • Developmental, medical, educational, and mental health history

    • Current functioning across home, school, work, and social settings

    • Strengths, challenges, and support needs

  • A range of evidence-based, standardised assessment tools are selected based on the referral question and age of the individual. This may include:

    • Cognitive testing

    • Academic achievement testing

    • Attention and executive functioning measures

    • Behavioural, emotional, and adaptive functioning questionnaires

    • Observational assessment (including play-based assessment for younger children, where appropriate)

  • Where available, relevant information is gathered from schools, teachers, previous assessments, and other health or allied health professionals to ensure a comprehensive understanding of functioning across settings.

  • All assessment information is integrated and interpreted using clinical judgement within a neuro-affirming and strengths-based framework. Diagnostic criteria are applied where appropriate to support accurate and meaningful conclusions.

  • A detailed written report is provided, including:

    • Assessment results and interpretation

    • Diagnostic conclusions (where relevant)

    • Identification of strengths and support needs

    • Individualised, practical recommendations for home, school, workplace, and therapeutic support

  • A dedicated feedback session is held to explain the assessment results in a clear, supportive, and accessible way. This includes discussion of the findings, diagnostic outcomes (if applicable), and practical implications for learning, work, and wellbeing.

  • An initial 65-minute consultation is completed before proceeding with an assessment. All assessments at Ember & Bloom Psychology Clinic are offered as comprehensive, fixed-fee packages. Fees reflect the full assessment process, including clinical interviews, test administration, scoring and interpretation, review of relevant information, report writing and a feedback consultation.
