  • attention / concentration
  • eye – hand co-ordination for paper – and – pencil tasks
  • planning ability
  • reflective / impulsive response style

Academic skills include:

  • reading (phonetic skills, sight vocabulary, reading comprehension)
  • spelling
  • writing
  • mathematics (basic numerical operations, mathematical reasoning)
  • academic fluency (speed of reading, writing, calculating)
  • listening comprehension

Psycho-Educational assessments also include an emotional assessment aspect, in order to provide an in-depth overview of children and their general functioning within specific environments.
