VISION PSYCHOLOGY
Vision Psychology Singapore offers psycho-educational assessments, consultancy services, and tailored mathematics intervention programs for individuals with learning difficulties, serving clients from age 6 through adulthood.
A psycho-educational assessment plays a vital role in identifying the needs and challenges students may face, particularly at the primary and secondary levels. Difficulties in literacy, numeracy, or behaviour should be addressed as early as possible to support students’ well-being and foster their academic learning.
Full Assessment
The full assessments on literacy and/or numeracy are conducted to identify conditions such as Dyslexia (reading/spelling), Dyscalculia (mathematics), or Dysgraphia (writing/spelling).
A full assessment for dyscalculia is conducted over two to three sessions and determines whether a formal diagnosis can be made based on the criteria. This comprehensive evaluation involves a more extensive test battery. If dyscalculia is confirmed, the student may become eligible for access arrangements and appropriate support within the school setting.
A full assessment for dyslexia is conducted over one to two sessions and determines whether a formal diagnosis can be made based on the criteria.
A re-assessment is often requested when a student was assessed at a very young age or when parents wish to obtain a second opinion.
Diagnostic assessment in mathematics
The diagnostic assessment provides insight into the student’s profile of strengths and weaknesses and helps identify underlying difficulties in mathematics. Based on the results, an individualized math intervention can be developed to strengthen foundational skills, enhance number sense and verbal reasoning, improve fluency and metacognitive strategies, build effective coping skills, and reduce math anxiety. More details can be found in ‘Code Green on Dyscalculia (Faber, 2021). The Math Handbook will be used in conjunction with the math intervention.
Math interventions are suitable for students of all ages who experience math difficulties or anxiety, as well as for those diagnosed with dyscalculia who require additional support.
