The SLD Assessment Resource Kit has been developed to support psychologists in navigating the complexity of assessing Specific Learning Disorders (SLD), including dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. Rather than a collection of disconnected tools, this resource provides a structured, cohesive framework to guide your assessment process from referral through to interpretation and communication of outcomes

• Integrate background information, observations, and assessment data
• Identify meaningful patterns across cognitive and academic profiles
