PSYCHO-EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT

Comprehensive Educational Psychologist Assessments in Singapore

​

Educational psychologist assessments, also known as psycho-educational assessments, are suited for children and adolescents aged 3–18 in Singapore. These developmental assessments are invaluable in identifying your child's capacities in areas of functioning that closely relate to their school achievement. Through a psycho-educational assessment, a child psychologist in Singapore can evaluate school readiness, identify giftedness, assess learning differences, facilitate special education services, and provide accommodations in the classroom. Additionally, these assessments are crucial for diagnosing conditions such as specific learning disorders, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Singapore.

​

Psychological assessment Singapore is not simply administering a test. There is no such thing as a standalone ADHD test or dyslexia test. Redwood Psychology Singapore offers comprehensive psychological assessment and diagnosis that require experience and expertise in triangulating evidence gathered from multiple sources. It involves differentiating and ruling out other potential causes that can result in symptoms that mimic these conditions, especially in the context of neurodevelopmental disorders and special educational needs.

​

A full learning assessment minimally includes a standardised cognitive testing (IQ test Singapore) and an academic testing. The combination of these tests, together with collateral information from parents & teachers, behavioural observations, provides valuable information for a psycho-educational assessment. Depending on the presenting issues, additional tests or questionnaires may be useful for assessing social-emotional skills, communication skills, attentional capacities, and behavioural challenges.
