Is your child/student struggling at school?
Do you suspect he or she has a learning disability such as dyslexia?

A psycho-educational assessment can help you understand the needs of your child/student and can help identify any learning difficulties.

An assessment can give you a better understanding of the problem, as well as specific recommendations for treatment.

Results can also be used to determine eligibility for additional support in school and college.

What assessment services does TIME offer?

TIME’s team of educators and psychologists provides professional high quality psycho-educational assessments.

We travel to the place of assessment or alternatively the assessment can be carried out at our centers in Amman.

All reports are written according to the guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA).

The APA is the largest scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the world. Psychological reports usually come in three parts.

The first part outlines why the report was written and summarizes the relevant background information.

The second part describes the psychological and educational tests that were used and reports the results of these tests.

The third part draws together the first two parts and summarizes the results, their implications, and provides recommendations to address the educational concerns.

This last section also provides recommendations regarding certain modifications and accommodations to help students succeed in school.

We provide a range of assessments tailored to suit the needs of the individual or institution. We carry out various assessments for children, adolescents, and adults including assessments for:

Progress monitoring

Intelligence

Specific learning disabilities assessments (e.g., dyslexia, dyscalculia).

Identification of students with special needs (e.g., giftedness, intellectual disabilities).

Career and vocational advice

Assessment Types

Brief Assessments for Screening Purposes

These Screening assessments cater for all school age levels. They assess the ability and attainment level of whole classes and identify children with potential learning difficulties or disabilities and giftedness (i.e. children with special needs). The school will receive a report of the results of the class assessment, identifying those who have special educational needs or who may need further evaluation.

The benefits of whole class assessments are:

The school identifies those students who need learning support.

The school identifies students who have disabilities or giftedness who may require special services.

The school identifies underachievers.

The results are objective and independent of the teachers’ perceptions.

The school can ‘benchmark’ overall student progress.

The results can inform the setting of goals.

The results could be used to establish the level of resource allocation needed to address special needs.

The overall results can be compared to other schools nationally and internationally.

The Psycho-Educational Assessment

A psycho-educational assessment is made up of two types of testing: psychological assessment and educational assessment. Psychological testing, in general, measures learning potential, not what has been learned. Educational assessment measures what has been learned in math, reading, spelling, and other academic areas.

A psycho-educational assessment is helpful in examining a number of factors that might influence academic performance. Psychoeducational testing can help to identify the particular learning style of a child, and determine if there is a learning disability, cognitive difficulties, or executive functioning problems which impede the learning process.

A psycho-educational assessment involves a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s school potential and functioning. This includes the following:

Overall intellectual functioning, including both verbal and non-verbal problem solving.

An examination of a variety of processes involved in learning, such as phonological processing, memory and attention, processing speed, language processing, perceptual-motor processing, visual-spatial processing, executive functions, and rapid automatized naming.

A thorough assessment of academic skills, including reading, spelling, and mathematics.

A detailed professional report is provided that will specify:

Identification of any special educational needs (e.g., dyslexia)

The student’s strengths and weaknesses

The student’s level of academic achievement

Recommendations on interventions that can be implemented to address specific problems and promote development.

Results can be used to develop educational plans (IEP’s) for individual students.

Results can be used to provide supporting evidence to apply for reasonable accommodations in certificate exams in school or college level. These accommodations include readers, scribes, spelling and grammar waivers, and/or the use of the appropriate assistive technology.
