Assessment for Giftedness

Discover your child’s true potential AND help them achieve it!

Is your child bored in class … but easily able to complete the work?

Do they enjoy taking on more challenging work than their classmates?

Are they frustrated with the ‘slow’ pace of teaching at school?

If so, they might be showing signs of intellectual giftedness.

Here are three reasons to consider a giftedness assessment:

  1. Reveal your child’s true intellectual and academic potential
  2. Get specific recommendations for home and school to help your child fulfill their potential
  3. Make informed decisions about your child’s learning needs

What Does Giftedness Assessment Involve?

You will receive:

  • An initial review of your child’s cognitive, social, family and emotional history
  • Standardised cognitive (intelligence) test
  • Standardised achievement (academic) test
  • Giftedness Index Assessment (GIA)
  • Detailed assessment report
  • Tailored learning recommendations for school and home
