WE ARE A GROUP OF EDUCATIONAL SPECIALISTS WHO WORK WITH CHILDREN AND ADULTS TO DISCOVER HOW EACH PERSON LEARNS BEST. OUR PHILOSOPHY "The knowledge of how we learn enables us to take charge of our own learning." We believe that a person's cognitive ability or academic achievement cannot be expressed simply in numerical terms. Accordingly, our assessments are individually designed to identify and provide a thorough understanding of the client's learning patterns, significant strengths, and areas which need further development. We also believe that the assessment process should be interactive; that is, the client's observations of his or her learning styles, problem-solving approaches, and reactions to the assessments need to be discussed with the clinician and made an integral part of the evaluation. THE ASSESSMENTS The Cognitive Assessment provides an evaluation of an individual's verbal and nonverbal reasoning and problem-solving abilities, using appropriate cognitive measures. The Perceptual Assessment is an evaluation of auditory and visual discrimination and perception, auditory and visual memory, and visual-motor coordination. The Reading/Academic Assessment includes both standardized and informal measures to assess reading comprehension and efficiency, vocabulary, phonics mastery, listening skills, written expression, and study strategies. Vision and hearing screenings are included. The Admissions Assessment is an evaluation of the child's verbal and nonverbal development, using assessment materials designated by the independent schools. A written report is presented at a parent conference and forwarded to schools. EAA is also an alternate site for the administration of the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT). WHO WE ARE Educational Assessment Associates was founded in January 1993 by the assessment staff of the former George Washington University Reading Center. Our team of educational specialists continues to offer a full range of diagnostic testing and consulting services to the Washington metropolitan community. Many years of testing at all levels, as well as teaching, research and review in the field of assessment, have kept the staff in the forefront of current educational philosophy and practice.
