At Caint we offer an indivdualised approach to Dyslexia assessment and take account of relevant background information from family, schools, colleges or any other relevant sources.
A dyslexia assessment using the WISC and WIAT is a structured evaluation that looks at both cognitive abilities and academic skills to identify dyslexia and related learning differences.
-
WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children): assesses cognitive abilities such as verbal understanding, working memory, processing speed, and reasoning skills, helping to build a profile of strengths and needs.
-
WIAT (Wechsler Individual Achievement Test): measures academic skills including reading, spelling, writing, and mathematics, showing how these skills compare to age expectations.
Together, these assessments allow the assessor to understand how a child’s learning profile impacts reading and written language. A detailed report is provided, confirming whether dyslexia is present and outlining practical recommendations and support strategies for school and learning environments.
