Online Self Assessment

SELF ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST

 This is provided to help us identify possible areas of weakness related to Visual and Auditory functions through a sampling of related skills and behaviours. The results are not conclusive, nor intended as a diagnostic tool. It is developed to help understand areas where "Eyes & Ears for Learning" may be of particular benefit.
Tick all boxes that apply to the person to be assessed, then submit for an evaluation.
