Embrace Wellness Consultancy provides psychometric testing to children, adolescents, and adults for a variety of purposes including, intellectual disabilities, learning difficulties and giftedness. The instruments used for the assessment will depend on the reason for referral.
Cognitive Assessments
A cognitive assessment also known as an intelligence test, is used to determine an individual’s learning capacity by identifying their cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
In combination with background information such as developmental milestones, school history, and medical diagnoses, the results can assist with the development of individualised learning plans and applications for funding.
Educational Assessments
Educational assessments are used to measure a student’s academic ability, in a range of areas including reading and comprehension, written expression, arithmetic, listening comprehension, and oral expression. The results can be used to identify strengths or weaknesses and assist with the development of individualised learning plans.
The practitioner will spend some time with you, prior to the assessment obtaining background information about current difficulties, previous diagnoses, academic performance etc. Following this, the assessment will take place and results will be provided shortly after.
