Assessment For Learning Difficulties

Assessment for learning difficulties can help parents to identify their child's areas of strength, as well as areas of challenge and provide insight into how to best address these challenges. Let’s take a closer look at why assessment for learning difficulties is so important. 

​

Identifying Areas of Challenge 

 

Assessment for learning difficulties helps to identify areas where children may be struggling, such as reading comprehension, maths skills, writing, spelling or the ability to focus on tasks. By understanding these challenges, parents and teachers can help children create strategies that work best for them when participating in their learning. 

​

Learning About Strengths 

 

In addition to identifying challenges, assessment for learning difficulties also helps uncover children's strengths. Identifying their strengths will help build children's self-esteem and confidence and give them a sense of achievement in things they do well. Strengths can also be used to help build on areas of challenge, for example, a child might struggle with reading, but be great at drawing. They can use this skill to help them engage with their learning; the more a child engages, the more they learn.
