What will be assessed?
The Village assesses your special child for various learning problems from Educational Psychology, Speech, Dyslexia, Occupational Therapy, and Exam Access. We recommend the right course of action for you.
-
Educational Psychology
Identify and support learning difficulties through these tests.
Educational psychologists also advise schools on curriculum modifications, additional resources and assistant support when exams are required. These assessments by a team of professionals pinpoint your child’s difficulties to support and correct it.
Speech AssessmentWouldn’t it be wonderful if you could identify your child’s difficulties as early as possible?
Be it speech, language, or communications? Allow our Speech and Language therapists to assess these difficulties early on.
This helps the therapists, you and your child, understand the issues. The therapists then develop and deliver programmes of support for your child.
DyslexiaDyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent reading and spelling.
This disability includes difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory and verbal processing speed.
It occurs across a range of intellectual abilities and is best thought of as a continuum. It's not a distinct category (there are no clear cut off points). The severity and persistence of dyslexic difficulties is assessed by examining how the individual responds (or has responded) to well-found intervention.
Occupational TherapyServices for children include those with Autism Disorders, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Dyspraxia, Global Development Delays, Dyslexia, Sensory Processing Disorders, Attention Deficit Disorders [ADD], Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorders [ADHS] and many other developmental conditions and delays.
Occupational therapists [OT’s] are qualified to help people with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities.
Therapy makes your child as independent as possible in all areas of their lives.
Exam AccessExam Access Assessment [EAA] is relevant for students who have an educational or specialist assessment report previously. Now, you need an updated review for exam access purposes.
This is done by a Specialist EAA Teacher or an Educational Psychologist. Various types of Exam Access Arrangements are available (UK) which are dependent on the student’s needs.

What happens during the assessment?
- The Speech and Language Therapist will take a detailed case history from the parents/carers. This helps get a clear idea of how the child communicates in different environments and helps the therapist get a detailed picture of the child’s previous medical and educational history.
- The Speech and Language Therapist will spend time observing and/or assessing the child using a mixture of formal and informal assessment tools. The therapist will usually look at all three areas of communication during the assessment – expressive language, understanding of language and social use of language.
- Each assessment is different and tailored to the child’s needs. For some children, several shorter sessions may be needed, while others are able to complete the assessment in one longer session.
-
What’s next after the assessment?
After the assessment the therapist spends time collating all the data, scoring the assessments and writing a written report. A feedback meeting is then arranged to discuss the result of the assessment and to make plans for any intervention that needs to be carried out.
