Learner Profile Assessments for Children
Understand How Your Child Learns and How to Support Them
At Flourish Dyslexia, we provide Learner Profile Assessments for children and young people aged 7-18 across Greater Manchester.
These gentle, cognitive-based assessments explore how your child thinks, learns, remembers and processes information, giving you a clear picture of their learning profile and practical strategies to support them at home and in school.
What Is a Learner Profile Assessment?
A Learner Profile Assessment is a non-diagnostic assessment that provides a detailed overview of your child’s cognitive strengths and learning needs.
This assessment is ideal if you are:
-
Not ready for or do not yet meet the criteria for, a full diagnostic assessment
-
Wanting clarity around memory, attention or processing skills
-
Looking for practical strategies before pursuing further referrals
Skills Explored in a Learner Profile Assessment
Each learner profile is tailored to your child’s needs, but areas we may explore include:
-
Verbal and visual reasoning (how your child understands and solves problems)
-
Working memory and recall (holding and using information)
-
Processing speed (how quickly information is taken in and used)
-
Phonological skills linked to reading and spelling
-
Handwriting fluency and written expression
-
Optional language screening if concerns are raised
We always focus on what is relevant and meaningful for your child, no unnecessary testing.
