SASC guidance relating to the assessment of specific learning difficulties (SpLD).
SASC provides guidance in order to promote good practice in the psychological assessment of children and adults. Individuals with neurodiverse profiles or specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, ADD/ADHD and ASD can benefit from an effective assessment which is rigorous, comprehensive and appropriate.
SASC provides guidance for SpLD assessors on the use of appropriate tests and the careful interpretation of assessment test results. See the links on the right-hand side for further information.
For further recent papers on assessment see the SASC Annual Conference 2022 presentations by Professor Joel Talcott, Professor Brian Lamb and Dr Margaret Crombie as well as STEC committee members.
