Education Testing in Chiang mai
At Global Education Testing, we provide comprehensive educational assessments for students in Chiang Mai facing learning challenges such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and dyspraxia. Our services cater specifically to international and private school students in Northern Thailand, addressing a growing need for specialized educational testing in the region. As the leading telehealth company now serving Chiang Mai, we are proud to offer parents and educators a professional, reliable solution for early identification and intervention.
The Need for Private Educational Testing in Chiang Mai
In Chiang Mai, access to specialized educational assessments for learning disabilities is limited. While many international schools recognize the importance of early intervention, local resources for comprehensive diagnosis are scarce. Parents often find themselves seeking outside help when their child exhibits signs of learning difficulties but lacks the proper support from schools.
We have worked with students attending Chiang Mai International School (CMIS), Prem Tinsulanonda International School, and Lanna International School. These schools are committed to inclusive education, yet due to a lack of local testing resources, parents frequently feel overwhelmed when faced with their child’s learning challenges.
Awareness and diagnosis of learning difficulties like dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia remain limited in Chiang Mai. It is estimated that up to 10% of students in international schools may struggle with a learning disability, but a lack of testing resources means that many students go undiagnosed. In international schools, less than 30% of students with suspected learning disabilities receive the proper accommodations they need to succeed academically.
International Education Testing in Chiang Mai
Early intervention has been shown to significantly improve outcomes for children with learning difficulties. However, in Chiang Mai, the availability of specialized testing services has not kept pace with demand, leaving many parents to seek external solutions.
With very few overseas-trained educational psychologists available in the region, parents are often faced with long waiting times or the need to travel to Bangkok or other major cities for comprehensive evaluations. Global Education Testing fills this gap by offering timely, professional assessments right here in Chiang Mai.
Our services are provided by fully qualified educational psychologists from countries with ‘Comparable Health Systems’ (CHS) such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. This ensures that the assessment report your child receives is valid not only in Thailand but also internationally.
If your psychologist does not hold the relevant credentials, your child may not be eligible for accommodations such as extra time in international exams like the iGCSE, A Levels, IB, GED, SAT, or university entrance exams. At Global Education Testing, we ensure that your child receives the accommodations they are entitled to, both locally and abroad.
Is a School Screening Enough?
While international schools in Chiang Mai, such as CMIS, Prem, and NIS, may offer basic screenings for learning disabilities, these are often not in-depth enough to fully assess and understand a child’s unique challenges. Without a comprehensive evaluation from a qualified educational psychologist, schools may overlook or misinterpret signs of dyslexia, dysgraphia, or ADHD, causing delays in providing the necessary support.
Educational Psychologists
At Global Education Testing, our educational psychologists are internationally trained and recognized. If your local tester in Chiang Mai does not meet these standards, your child could miss out on crucial accommodations, such as extra time or assistive technology during exams. Only a fully qualified educational psychologist from a Comparable Health System can provide the depth and scope needed for a formal diagnosis in Chiang Mai.
Extra Time in Exams
Only a fully qualified educational psychologist from a recognized health system comparable to those in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland, or New Zealand can provide the depth, scope, and detail necessary for a formal diagnosis. A report from Global Education Testing in Chiang Mai not only fulfills this criteria but is also valid in any other country or school globally, ensuring your child receives the necessary support and full extra time in exams.

Importance of Professional Testing
Accurate diagnosis requires expertise, and too often in Chiang Mai, students’ learning difficulties are misinterpreted as general academic struggles or behavioral issues. This delay can impact a child’s confidence and academic progression. Our assessments focus on identifying specific learning challenges, such as weaknesses in reading fluency, fine motor skills, or numeracy, providing clarity on the underlying issues affecting your child.
Early Intervention
The earlier a learning disability is detected, the sooner appropriate interventions can be put in place. This allows students to access tailored support that helps them keep up with their peers. At Global Education Testing, we regularly work with kindergartens and primary schools in Chiang Mai, advocating for early screening and proactive support.
Schools like Prem International have collaborated with us to ensure that students receive the necessary accommodations from the earliest stages of their education.
Accommodations for Students with Learning Difficulties
Once a learning disability is identified, schools can implement a range of accommodations, such as extra time on exams, alternative assessments, or assistive technology. For example, a student with dysgraphia might benefit from using a computer for written assignments, while a student with dyscalculia might use visual aids to help with math.
In Chiang Mai, many schools are eager to help but lack the tools and expertise to do so effectively. This is where Global Education Testing steps in to support parents and advocate for their child’s needs.
