Assessments

I do the following assessments at my practice.

Ek doen die volgende assesserings by my praktyk.

School Readiness

School readiness is a term used to indicate that school beginners have achieved certain developmental levels that enable them to benefit from formal education during their first year of school. Consideration is given to a child's language and general intellectual development, physical-motor, and emotional-social development.

Skoolgereedheid

Skoolgereedheid is ‘n term wat gebruik word om aan te dui dat skoolbeginners sekere ontwikkelingsvlakke bereik het wat hulle in staat stel om baat te vind by formele onderrig tydens hulle eerste skooljaar. Daar word gekyk na ‘n kind se taal- en algemene intellektuele ontwikkeling, fisies- motoriese en emosioneel- sosiale ontwikkeling.

Opvoedkundige assesserigs

Opvoedkundige assesserings gee ‘n aanduiding van ‘n kind se vermoë om akademies op skool te presteer. Daar word gekyk na ‘n kind se verbale en nie- verbale vermoëns.

Assessering van lees, spelling, skryf en wiskundige vaardighede kan ‘n aanduiding van leergestremdheid gee. Hierdie tipe assessering word gedoen om te bepaal of ʼn kind remediëring terapie of plasing in ‘n spesiale skool nodig het om hom/haar te help om sy/haar volle potensiaal te bereik.

By ouer kinders (graad 7 en ouer) word studie- oriëntasie ten opsigte van wiskunde geassesseer. Daar word veral gekyk na studiemetode en houding ten opsigte van wiskunde. Klem word geplaas op die noodsaaklikheid van ekstra wiskundeklasse of ander vorme van intervensie wat nodig blyk te wees om die kind te help om sy volle potensiaal te ontwikkel.

Educational assessments

Educational assessments give an indication of a child's ability to perform academically at school. A child's verbal and non-verbal abilities are considered.

Assessment of reading, spelling, writing and mathematical skills can give an indication of learning disability. This type of assessment is done to determine whether a child needs remedial therapy or placement in a special needs school to help him/her achieve their full potential.

In older children (grade 7 and up), study orientation is assessed in respect of mathematics. Consideration is specifically given to study method and attitude regarding mathematics. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of extra math classes or other forms of intervention to be required to help the child develop his/her full potential.

Assessering van Aanpassingsgedrag

Aanpasbare gedrag is 'n versameling van kommunikasie, sosiale, motoriese en praktiese vaardighede, wat mense aan leer om hulle in staat te stel om te funksioneer in hul alledaagse lewens. Assessering van hierdie vaardighede kan help met die diagnose van Intellektuele gestremdheid, Outisme spektrum versteuring en Ontwikkelingsvertraging. Hierdie tipe assessering word gedoen om vas te stel of 'n kind terapie of plasing in 'n spesiale skool nodig het om hom/haar te help om hul volle potensiaal te bereik.

Adaptive Behavioral Assessments

Adaptive behavior is a group consisting of communication, social, motor and practical skills that people acquire that enables them to function in their everyday lives. Assessment of these skills can aid in the diagnosis of Intellectual Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Developmental Delay. This type of assessment is done to determine whether a child needs therapy or placement in a special needs school to help him/her achieve their full potential.

Grade 9 subject choices

Verbal and non- verbal aptitude are assessed to enable the learner to make a more informed decision with regards to subject choices.

Graad 9-vakkeuses

Verbale en nie- verbale aanleg word geassesseer om die leerder in staat te stel om 'n meer ingeligte besluit te neem ten opsigte van vakkeuses.

Career Guidance

Aptitudes, interests, personality and values are assessed to increase self-knowledge and enable the learner to make a more informed decision with regards to a future career.

Beroepsvoorligting

Aanleg, belangstelling, persoonlikheid en waardes word geassesseer om die leerder te help met voldoende self- kennis, wat hom/ haar in staat sal stel om ʼn goed ingeligte loopbaan besluit te neem.

Career Assessment: The person- environment fit approach

The person- environment fit approach to career assessment is one of the most popular methods used for career assessment today.  How does it work? The goal of this approach is to find the perfect fit between a client's self knowledge and his/her knowledge of the world of work. This knowledge is primarily obtained by doing psychological assessments.
