ABOUT JN ASSESSMENTS
We provide specialist psychological assessments designed for adults with learning disabilities, encompassing both diagnostic evaluations and capacity assessments.
WHAT IS A LEARNING DISABILITY?
A learning disability, often referred to as intellectual disability, manifests as a developmental disorder that is present before adulthood. For an individual to be clinically classified as having a learning disability, they must meet the following criteria:
• Significant impairment in intellectual functioning, and
• Significant impairment in adaptive behaviour/social functioning, and
• Onset of symptoms before adulthood.
While assessments can be conducted at any life stage, it is essential that all three criteria are satisfied to confirm the presence of a learning disability. Adherence to best practices mandates the utilisation of standardised assessments administered by trained clinicians, involving input from both the individual being assessed and individuals familiar with them.
