How we Diagnose Learning Disabilities in Children
- Background information: A complete assessment for learning disabilities involves gathering detailed history. This includes developmental milestones, family history of similar conditions, and personal history of important events. This information helps identify educational challenges and their causes. It’s also important to look at how the child is doing at school and home, and to use interviews and behavior rating scales
- Intelligence testing: It is also called IQ testing, and is used to check how well someone can think, understand, and solve problems. Sometimes, tests are picked that look at specific brain functions without giving an overall IQ score.
- Achievement testing: Achievement tests assess how effectively your child has retained and applied information after a learning period, providing valuable insights into their academic progress and understanding.
- Clinical interviews: We conduct thorough clinical interviews with your child to delve into their symptoms and behaviors. These interviews help us accurately assess the presence and severity of ASD, ensuring we have a detailed understanding of their condition.
- Visual Motor testing: Visual-motor function tests check how well your child uses their motor skills together with their visual skills. These tests involve activities like handwriting and drawing. They are important for understanding nonverbal learning disabilities.
