Academic Testing

Academic testing focuses on your child’s learning profile, including how they perform in areas like reading, writing, math, and sometimes oral language or executive functioning related to learning. These evaluations help identify whether your child is performing at grade level, has a learning disability such as dyslexia or dysgraphia, or needs additional support in the classroom. Academic testing also helps clarify whether difficulties are due to motivation, behavior, or actual skill deficits.

Academic testing may be recommended when:

• A child is struggling in school and the cause is not clear

• They appear bright but underperform on assignments or tests

• They read fluently but struggle with writing or math, or the reverse

• Teachers raise concerns about attention, work completion, or comprehension

This type of assessment includes standardized achievement measures and is sometimes paired with cognitive testing to compare learning ability and academic performance. Our goal is not only to determine whether there is a diagnosable learning issue but also to provide helpful insight into your child’s learning style, areas of strength, and the most effective support to help them thrive.
