Learning Disability Assessments in Calgary
Identifying Learning Differences and Academic Challenges
Some individuals work hard academically but continue to struggle with reading, writing, mathematics, or processing information. A learning disability assessment helps identify whether specific learning differences may be affecting academic performance.
At Ten Psychology, we provide learning disability assessments in Calgary for older teens, post-secondary students, and adults who want a clearer understanding of how they learn and process information. A comprehensive evaluation can help identify learning differences and provide recommendations that support academic and professional success.
What Is a Learning Disability Assessment?
A learning disability assessment is a structured psychological evaluation designed to determine whether challenges with reading, writing, mathematics, or information processing are related to a specific learning disorder.
These assessments examine how cognitive abilities interact with academic skills.
A comprehensive evaluation may include:
Cognitive testing that evaluates reasoning, memory, and processing speed
Academic testing in reading, writing, and mathematics
Assessment of attention and executive functioning
Questionnaires related to learning and daily functioning
Review of academic or work history
The goal is to identify patterns that may explain persistent academic challenges.
Signs a Learning Disability Assessment May Be Helpful
Many individuals seek a learning disability assessment when academic difficulties persist despite effort and support.
Common experiences include:
Difficulty with reading comprehension or written expression
Challenges with mathematics or numerical reasoning
Trouble processing or retaining information during learning
Struggling to keep up with academic expectations
Working hard but seeing inconsistent academic results
Seeking documentation for academic accommodations
An assessment can help determine whether a learning disability is present and identify strategies that support learning.
