Academic Assesments

Academic assessment

Specific Learning Disorders and Exam Accommodations

We offer comprehensive, multidisciplinary assessments to determine whether a student has a Specific Learning Disorder—such as dyslexia or dyscalculia—or other learning difficulties. These evaluations can support eligibility for special accommodations, including Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments, during exams such as the GCSE or IB.

multiple language

Assessment

We offer assessments in English, French, Spanish, and Italian, allowing students to be evaluated in the language they are most comfortable with. For multilingual students, we also provide cross-language assessments that take into account their unique linguistic background and learning context. This ensures a more accurate understanding of their abilities, strengths, and areas of need across different languages.

reports valid

In Italy and Abroad

We can release diagnostic reports that are valid both in Italy and abroad.

As we are based in Italy, we follow Italian regulations as well as the International clinical requirements.

The Italian Law 170/2010 requires for the diagnosis of a specific learning disorder to be carried out by three professionals (an Educational Psychologist, a Neuropsychiatrist and a Speech and Language Therapist) all with certified experience in the field.
