The Assessment of Learning Difficulties: Designing a Non-Standardized Assessment Test for Preschool and Primary School Age

Abstract

This article presents a non-standardized assessment test (DΤLD-P.S.A.) which was been designed by special education teachers for preschool and primary education children. It is based on the Greek curriculum and aims on identifying the student's cognition and learning deficiencies. Specifically, it is a tool that examines childrens’ cognition of listening, speaking, reading, spelling, writing and maths. Teachers may use it in combination with other standardized tests in order to determine precisely types of learning disfunctions. Moreover, the test axes are designed by the authors based on learning difficulties literature so the assessment test (DΤLD- P.S.A.) can be used by special education teachers not only to identify children’s deficiencies but also to create early and tailor-made interventions depending on their needs and educational deficiencies.
