Assessments
At Stepping Stones Educational Psychology, we know that every child’s journey is unique. That’s why we offer a range of assessment options. By exploring the right type of assessment together, we can provide clear answers, practical recommendations, and a pathway forward that feels tailored to your child and family.
Educational Psychology Assessment
Our educational psychology assessments provide a clear understanding of a student’s unique learning profile. Through a combination of observation, standardised testing, and collaboration with parents and teachers, we explore areas such as verbal comprehension, processing speed, visual spatial abilities, memory, attention, literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional development. The outcome is a detailed, practical report with tailored recommendations to support learning, boost confidence, and help each student reach their full potential.
Access Arrangements Assessment
Access arrangements assessments ensure that students receive the support they need to demonstrate their true abilities in exams. These assessments, carried out by a qualified professional, identify whether a learner is eligible for arrangements such as extra time, a reader, a scribe, or the use of technology. The process involves exploring areas like processing speed, working memory, and literacy skills, alongside evidence of need from the student’s everyday learning. The outcome is a formal report that schools can use to apply for exam arrangements, helping to create a fair and supportive testing environment.
Neurodiversity Screening Assessments
Our Neurodiversity Screening Assessment is designed to provide an initial overview of whether your child may present with traits linked to conditions such as autism or ADHD. This assessment is not diagnostic, but it can help identify whether a full diagnostic assessment may be beneficial. The screening process also provides valuable evidence that can support a referral for further assessment if needed.
​
Following the screening, you will receive a clear and accessible report that outlines the findings and offers practical strategies and accommodations tailored to your child’s needs. These recommendations can be used both at home and in school, helping to create supportive environments where your child can feel understood and thrive.
