Aldridge-Duff Assessment

Building Confidence - Creating Success

Assessment

Aldridge-Duff’s assessment process allow parents to see and understand

the difference between their children’s performance at school and their

true knowledge and competence.

Our assessments help parents understand why their children are not progressing

as they should be, and what learning skills might be underdeveloped.

Using a variety of standardized tests, reading measurement tools, and

informal assessment approaches, we profile academic and learning skills and

prepare a report that is:

                √ Valid

                √ Confidential

                √ Reliable

                √ Prescriptive

WHY DO PARENTS REQUEST WE CONDUCT AN ASSESSMENT OF THEIR CHILD?

to determine a child’s readiness for grade one

to understand generalized academic difficulties

to help find the cause of learning-based behavioural problems

to assess the efficacy of a home-schooling curriculum

to compare academic achievement against provincial standards

to measure progress at a specific school

to identify deficiencies in foundational math

to identify deficiencies in literacy skills (decoding, reading comprehension,

    spelling, grammar and writing)
