Everyone is suitable for a dynamic assessment, and it is especially useful when the purpose of the assessment is to identify the best way to teach a child or young person.

There are many benefits of a dynamic assessment as you can assess what an individual can achieve with appropriate support, other benefits include:
Following a dynamic assessment, recommendations may be made relating to interventions, teaching styles or an individual education plan (IEP). Dynamic assessment can be used with all ages and all abilities, making it an adaptive method of assessment.
A dynamic assessment can be carried out following an initial discussion, please see our process below.
At HSR Psychology we ensure that we meet the needs of children and young people. To achieve this we ensure that any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work, is only carried out following an initial discussion.
An initial discussion allows us to understand the background and your expectations of our involvement. Having an initial discussion ensures any services we provide appropriately identify or address needs.
Our process for any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work is as follows:
What happens during a dynamic assessment depends on the specific assessments taking place. Usually there will be a combination of puzzles, questions and tasks to complete. As a team we are committed to making all assessments as interactive and enjoyable as possible.
All of our specific assessments can be used as part of a dynamic assessment. It is quite common to use aspects of multiple assessments during a dynamic assessment. The areas investigated through dynamic assessment will be discussed and agreed on during the initial discussion.
After a dynamic assessment we will provide information about an individual’s areas of strength and need. This feedback can happen through a feedback meeting or a report. The information we provide can be used to guide interventions, teaching adaptations and strategies for the home. We provide a broad range of follow-up services to meet all areas of need. Read about the interventions or school services we offer.
Arrange an initial discussion to find out how we can benefit your education setting. The initial discussion lasts 2 hours and is a starting point to identify needs. The cost is £260.

Reports are available following a dynamic assessment upon request. We provide a broad range of reports to support applications, funding requests and as evidence of need. Our reports can be comprehensive, summary or for recommendations only. Read more about the reports we offer.
Dynamic assessments provide information relating to a child or young person’s potential with the appropriate support for their needs. A dynamic approach can happen on all specific assessments when a standardised measure is not required.

I think the work you have been doing has been great to help break the stigma of mental health and as a fellow sufferer I know how important that is.
