School Readiness Assessment | Neurodiversity Hub

School Readiness Assessments

Do you wonder whether your child has the necessary skills and abilities to commence school? Do you have concerns about delaying school entry? Knowing whether your child will be ready can be a daunting task.

At Neurodiversity Hub we work individually with each child and their family, giving careful consideration to the developmental abilities of your child. Using a range of checklist of developmental skills and formal assessments we can determine your child’s readiness for school, and how to best support your child in developing the required set of skills.

How can you tell if my child has potential problems with school readiness?

If a child has difficulties with school readiness they might:

Get easily frustrated when expectations are placed upon them.
Struggle to follow instructions in daily activities.
Rely on parents to do self care tasks, such as dressing.
Not be toilet trained (day time).
Struggle to attend to tasks as long as their peers (length varies according to tasks)
Be socially immature (e.g. unable to share, be unable to shift with changing rules of a game in play).
Have poor receptive and/or expressive language skills.
Have difficulty understanding consequences of their behaviours.
Not be interested in looking at books and/or doing sit down activities.
Not interact well with their peers (either in or out of the classroom).
Have limited play skills (and cant change their play to incorporate new play items or people).
Be resistant to new activities and/or being guided about how to develop new skills.
