📖About IQ and Learning Assessment
An IQ and learning assessment uses standardised intelligence and academic achievement tests to measure an individual's cognitive abilities and identify specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or attention deficits. It provides a detailed profile of strengths and weaknesses across verbal, non-verbal, memory, and processing speed domains, helping to explain academic struggles that are not due to lack of effort or motivation. The assessment is often requested by schools, parents, or paediatricians when a child is falling behind academically despite adequate teaching and support. Results guide individualised education plans, accommodations, and targeted remedial interventions.
