At Educational Assessments, our educational psychologists carry out full cognitive assessments. These cover a variety of language and visual-spatial skills – including dysgraphia assessments at our Perth clinic. We recommend that children in their early primary years are prioritised for testing. This is simply because dysgraphia requires an inordinate amount of time and support.
Dysgraphia refers to those with severe problems developing skills associated with written expression. This is in spite of their intelligence and ability. Those with the disorder will have trouble with spelling, clarity and accuracy – specifically when it comes to handwriting. Generally, dysgraphia can be broken down into two subcategories:

We use a range of diagnostic assessment tools and scientific methodology to investigate developmental functioning. This way, we can uncover a student’s individual strengths and weaknesses. Through providing support early on, they will see improved future career prospects. Tests will pinpoint their unique strengths and weaknesses. From there, we can strategize a tailored plan of support.
By consulting with an educational psychologist at our Canberra clinic, students are a step closer to support. With any assessment, it’s important to establish the most accurate diagnosis, and why the student is struggling. We can test to find what factors have contributed to any learning difficulties. From there, we can guide the student to the most appropriate intervention and support.
