  • Our approach

    Assessment Matters uses a child-centred approach focused on understanding each child's unique learning profile through thorough psycho-educational and psychological assessment. Sessions aim to identify a child's strengths, underlying reasons for any academic challenges, and inform needs-specific support plans that support optimal learning outcomes. The practice specialises in recognising gifted children and ensuring appropriate adjustments are implemented so they can achieve their intellectual potential. Assessment provides the foundation for teachers and parents to develop deeper understanding of the child's abilities and learning needs, ultimately supporting their educational journey.

  • Working with families

    The website emphasises Kerry's commitment to providing parents with insight into their child's learning profile and relevant parental advice regarding school-related concerns. Following assessment, parents are expected to gain a deeper understanding of their child's ability, awareness of underlying reasons for academic challenges, and recognition of a needs-specific support plan. The practice works collaboratively with parents and teachers to ensure the best possible outcomes for each child's educational journey.
