Frequently Asked Questions
What age is a School Readiness Assessment for?
A School Readiness Assessment may be suitable for children preparing to start preschool, Kindergarten or Prep. Many families book when their child is between 3 and 6 years old, especially if they have concerns about development, communication, behaviour, learning or school transition.
Is this only for children with autism?
No. School Readiness Assessments may be helpful for children with autism, developmental delay, ADHD, speech and language delays, sensory needs, learning concerns, behavioural difficulties or general concerns about school transition.
Will I receive a written report?
Yes. Families receive a School Readiness Report after the assessment. The report outlines the child’s current strengths, support needs, assessment findings and practical recommendations for home and school.
Can the report be shared with my child’s school?
Yes. Many families choose to share the report with their child’s school, preschool, daycare, teacher or learning support team. The report is designed to help schools understand the child’s needs and plan appropriate supports.
Does the assessment tell me whether my child should start school?
The assessment provides information about your child’s current readiness and support needs. It does not make the final enrolment decision for families or schools, but it can help parents and educators make more informed decisions.
What if my child is not yet talking?
A child does not need to be speaking to complete a School Readiness Assessment. We consider all forms of communication, including gestures, visuals, AAC, pointing, behaviour, vocalisations and functional communication attempts.
What if my child cannot sit for formal testing?
That is important information in itself. The assessment can include observation, play-based tasks, parent input and clinical information. We look at how your child learns, communicates and participates, not only how they perform in formal testing.
Can this help with school transition planning?
Yes. A key purpose of the assessment is to help families and schools plan the transition into school. This may include recommendations for visual supports, communication strategies, transition routines, sensory supports, classroom adjustments and school-readiness goals.
