What is a psychological assessment?
Information is gathered regarding the student’s intellectual functioning, memory, attention, academic skills, executive functioning, emotional functioning and personality. If a student is struggling with learning or behavioural difficulties at school or does not appear to be meeting their true potential, an assessment will assist in gaining a better understanding of the underlying problems and make recommendations to address the problems.
