What is an Educational Assessment?
An educational assessment is an assessment of the skills that are necessary for school/educational performance.

Area of Focus for Assessment
Assessment focuses on determining the level of a child's oral language, reading, reading comprehension, spelling, writing skills and math. In addition, the assessment also includes an evaluation of processing skills (like auditory memory, phonological awareness, visual perception, and visual-motor integration)

The results obtained on the educational tests are compared to the IQ scores. If there is a significant discrepancy between the scores, a diagnosis of learning disabilities is made.

Ongoing Care/ Therapy
After a child is diagnosed with learning disabilities he is referred to a special educator for remedial help. The special educator is not a tutor, but a person who works directly on areas of underachievement. Remedial help improves a child's weak areas, thereby improving his/her academic performance.
