About the Package
Intellectual Disability Assessments
An Intellectual Disability Assessment is often requested by schools or the NDIS to determine if an individual meets criteria for an Intellectual Disability.
This assessment can be used to provide recommendations around funding for NDIS purposes and can be utilised in an education setting to determine appropriate curriculum adaptions.
Children with an Intellectual Disability generally have significant learning issues across a number of academic subjects, rather than experiencing difficulty in just one subject which is more indicative of a Specific Learning Disability. Often children with an Intellectual Disability can go unsupported throughout their school career which results in a history of significant academic and attentional issues. As educational demands increase, the child’s learning issues become more apparent as they fall increasingly behind.
An assessment for an Intellectual Disability can be informative for your child and family. It can help guide the supports your child requires to meet their learning potential, and access the adaptions that are required within their environment. Intellectual Disability diagnostic reports can also be used as evidence when applying for a range of support services including the Department of Education and the NDIS.
