Cognitive and learning assessments are crucial tools for understanding a child’s cognitive profile, learning preferences, and academic capabilities. They offer essential insights into potential learning challenges or developmental delays, including specific learning disorders in reading, writing, and math. Critically, these assessments play a vital role in identifying dyslexia, a specific learning disorder in reading, alongside other learning differences, thereby providing a clear pathway to targeted support and interventions that can significantly improve a child’s educational journey and overall well-being.
