Information gathered from the child’s educators
-
A formal, standardised cognitive assessment
-
An assessment of adaptive functioning may be included if additional information is required
-
Personalised feedback and a comprehensive written report
Why have this assessment?
An intellectual assessment can help teachers and families understand how a child learns best. The results can inform an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) or Negotiated Education Plan (NEP). The assessment can also identify an intellectual disability or giftedness. Information is often used to support NDIS applications or educational planning.
