Academic Skills
Assessment
Purpose
Academic Skills assessments help to identify how your child is achieving academically for his or her age and grade level. They are useful if you are not clear on what their current academic skill sets are and if you would like to determine areas of academic strength and/ or need.
​
Outcomes
Outcomes from this assessment paint a picture of your child's current academic skills and how they fare for their age and school grade. Results may help determine whether there are areas of academic need, which may benefit from additional supports, while also guiding recommendations.
​
Dr. David is available to review assessment results and recommendations with a child's school team or other professionals involved in supporting the child.
