What Is a Learning Disability Assessment?

A learning disability assessment identifies a Specific Learning Disability (SLD) — a difficulty with reading, writing, or mathematics that is out of step with a child's overall ability. It uses standardised diagnostic tools, most commonly the NIMHANS SLD Battery, to pinpoint exactly where a child struggles and why. The result is a clear diagnosis and a clinical report that explains the difficulty and what would help, so a child can get the right support at school and at home rather than being labelled careless or slow.

A Clear Diagnosis

Identifies whether a specific learning disability is present, and which one — dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia.

The NIMHANS Battery

The NIMHANS SLD Battery is the standard Indian diagnostic tool for specific learning disabilities.

A Report You Can Use

A detailed clinical report in 7–8 days that establishes the diagnosis — suitable for submission to schools and boards.

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • Your child's reading, spelling, writing, or maths is well behind their classmates, despite real effort.
  • They reverse letters or numbers, lose their place when reading, or avoid reading aloud.
  • Homework takes far longer than it should, and school has become a source of stress.
  • Your child is clearly bright in conversation, yet their marks don't reflect it.
  • A teacher has suggested your child may have a learning difficulty, or asked for an assessment.

A learning disability assessment replaces frustration with a clear explanation — and a plan.

Types of Specific Learning Disability We Assess

A learning disability can affect reading, writing, or mathematics — sometimes more than one. Our assessment identifies which is present.

Dyslexia

A difficulty with reading and language processing — connecting letters to sounds, reading fluently, and spelling.

Dyscalculia

A difficulty with numbers and mathematics — understanding quantity, number facts, and calculation.

Dysgraphia

A difficulty with writing — handwriting, spelling, and getting thoughts organised on paper.

Borderline Intellectual Functioning

Where a child struggles broadly rather than in one specific area, assessment helps tell this apart from an SLD.

Understanding a child's overall cognitive profile often matters here too — see our psychoeducational assessment and IQ testing pages.

What Your Report Gives You

  • A clear diagnosis — whether a specific learning disability is present, and which type
  • Test scores and clinical history, clearly explained
  • A diagnostic formulation that ties the findings together
  • Screening for any co-occurring concerns, such as attention difficulties

Frequently Asked Questions

A specific learning disability is a difficulty with a particular academic skill — reading (dyslexia), mathematics (dyscalculia), or writing (dysgraphia) — that is significantly out of step with a child's overall ability. It's not a reflection of intelligence or effort; it's a difference in how certain information is processed.

We primarily use the NIMHANS SLD Battery, the standard Indian diagnostic tool for specific learning disabilities, alongside supporting cognitive and academic measures. The clinician selects the right combination based on your child's age and difficulties.

Dyslexia mainly affects reading and spelling; dyscalculia affects numbers and mathematics; dysgraphia affects writing and handwriting. A child can have one or more than one. The assessment identifies exactly which are present.

A learning disability is typically assessed once a child has been formally learning to read, write, and do maths for a few years — so that a meaningful gap between ability and achievement can be measured. During intake we'll confirm whether the timing is right for your child.

Yes. The report is a detailed clinical document prepared by an RCI-registered Clinical Psychologist and establishes the diagnosis that schools and boards rely on. It is suitable for submission to schools and boards, and schools commonly use it to plan classroom support and accommodations.

An IQ test measures overall cognitive ability. A learning disability assessment looks specifically at reading, writing, and mathematics skills to diagnose an SLD — though understanding a child's cognitive profile is often part of the picture, which is why an IQ or psychoeducational assessment sometimes accompanies it.
