Assessment

Academic assessments are tools for checking students from Pre Primary to Adult levels. Results should provide the following information:

  • The levels at which the student is performing.
  • Where he/she should be performing.
  • Accurate diagnosis of ‘areas of need’.
  • What can be done – this is the most important part of the assessment.

Students are assessed in one or more of the following areas:

  • Reading and comprehension.
  • Written expression – spelling, grammar, sentence construction, editing skills etc.
  • Handwriting.
  • Mathematics.
  • Perceptual and motor skills.
  • Visual and auditory skills.
  • Short-term sequence and memory skills.
  • Locomotor skills.

A verbal report is given immediately, followed by a comprehensive written report within two weeks.

Communication with teachers, psychologists, speech therapists and others associated with the student is welcomed.
