About Learning Disability Assessment

When a bright, capable child continues to struggle in school despite hard work and support, a learning disability may be at the root of their difficulties. At Dr. Yasaswi’s Child Development Centre, our Learning Disability Assessment is a thorough, multi-domain evaluation that identifies the specific nature of a child’s learning profile – whether that’s a reading disorder (dyslexia), a writing disorder (dysgraphia), a mathematics disorder (dyscalculia), or a combination of processing difficulties. A proper assessment brings clarity, opens doors to the right support, and – most importantly – tells a struggling child that they are smart, capable, and not alone.

Who Is This For?

  • School-age children who struggle with reading despite adequate instruction
  • Children with poor spelling or written expression disproportionate to their verbal ability
  • Children who have significant difficulty with mathematics and number concepts
  • Children whose academic performance doesn’t match their apparent intelligence
  • Children who take much longer to complete work than classmates
  • Children who resist reading, writing, or schoolwork due to repeated frustration
  • Children who have been identified by their school as needing special support

What to Expect

  • Step 1 – Academic & Developmental History: We gather information about your child’s learning history, school performance, medical background, and previous assessments.
  • Step 2 – Cognitive Assessment: Standardized tests measure intellectual ability, processing speed, working memory, and cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
  • Step 3 – Academic Achievement Testing: We assess your child’s reading, writing, and mathematics skills using standardized tools.
  • Step 4 – Processing Assessments: Additional tests evaluate phonological processing, auditory processing, visual processing, and executive functions.
  • Step 5 – Comprehensive Report & Recommendations: A detailed report outlines findings, diagnostic conclusions, and practical recommendations for school accommodations, therapy, and home support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Assessment reports are private documents belonging to you. Sharing them with the school is entirely your choice. However, a formal report is usually required to access academic accommodations such as extra time in examinations.

Learning disabilities are lifelong differences in how the brain processes information. With the right strategies, accommodations, and support, children with learning disabilities can achieve excellent academic outcomes and lead fulfilling lives.
