Education Testing in Phuket
At Global Education Testing, we specialize in providing comprehensive Education Testing for students in Phuket facing learning challenges such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and dyspraxia. Our services cater specifically to international and private school students in Thailand, addressing a big gap in local testing availability. As the fastest-growing telehealth company now operating in Phuket, we are proud to offer parents and educators a reliable, professional solution for early identification and intervention.
The Need for Private Educational Testing in Phuket
In Phuket, access to specialized educational assessments for learning disabilities is limited. While international schools often recognize the importance of early intervention, many local institutions lack the resources or expertise to adequately diagnose learning challenges. This creates a significant gap, leaving parents to wonder why their child is struggling without clear answers or support.
We’ve worked with students attending schools such as British International School Phuket (BISP), HeadStart International School and QIS. Generally, International schools are committed to providing inclusive education, but due to the lack of local testing resources, parents often feel left in the dark when their child begins to exhibit signs of learning difficulties.
In Phuket, the awareness and diagnosis of learning difficulties like dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia remain limited. According to regional estimates, it is believed that up to 10% of students in international schools may struggle with a learning disability, but a lack of local resources means many go undiagnosed until later stages in their education. In the International School System, less than 30% of students with suspected learning disabilities receive the proper accommodations in their schools.
International Education Testing in Phuket
Research highlights that early intervention can significantly improve outcomes for children with learning challenges, yet in Phuket, the availability of specialized testing services has lagged behind the growing demand. This gap has left many parents searching for external solutions to get their children the help they need.
With only a handful of overseas trained educational psychologists available in Asia, parents often face long waiting times or must travel to Bangkok for comprehensive evaluations.
It is of the utmost importance that your child receives a full, comprehensive screening assessment from a Qualified Educational Psychologist trained in one of the ‘Comparable Health Systems’. These CHS countries are the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the United States.
If your Educational Psychologist does not have the relevant credentials then your child may not receive the full school accommodations or maxium extra time in external exams such as iGCSE, A Levels, IB, GED, SAT and University Entrance.
A report from Global Education Testing in Phuket not only fulfills this criteria, but is also valid in any other country or any school Globally which your child may attend in the future.
Is a School Screening Enough?
While international schools in Phuket such as British International School Phuket (BISP), United World College Thailand (UWC Thailand), Kajonkiet International School Phuket (KIS), and Quality Schools International Phuket (QSI Phuket) may offer basic learning disability screenings, they often lack the depth and specialized expertise required to fully assess and understand a child’s unique learning challenges, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or ADHD.
Educational Psychologists
If your local education tester in Phuket does not have the relevant international credentials, then your child will not receive the full range of accommodations or maximum extra time in exams such as iGCSE, A Levels, IB, GED, SAT, and University Entrance. Without proper assessments, recognized by international boards, schools may not be able to offer the necessary learning adjustments that ensure your child has the best chance to succeed.
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 Phuket not only fulfills this criteria but is also valid in any other country or any school globally, ensuring your child receives the necessary support and accommodations.

Importance of Professional Testing
Accurate diagnosis of learning disabilities requires the expertise of a qualified educational psychologist. Too often, International Schools in Phuket may either overlook or misinterpret signs of learning disabilities, attributing them to behavioral issues or general academic struggles. This delay can significantly hinder a child’s academic progress and self-esteem.
Our assessments at Global Education Testing Phuket are conducted by trained professionals using established methodologies to ensure that students are evaluated thoroughly.
For example, dyslexia testing focuses on identifying weaknesses in reading fluency, decoding, and phonological processing, while dysgraphia assessments evaluate fine motor skills, handwriting, and written expression. Proper diagnosis helps educators and parents understand the root causes of a child’s difficulties and allows for tailored support to be implemented.
Early Intervention
Early detection of learning disabilities provides the right accommodations and support. When identified early, children with learning challenges can access interventions that help them keep pace with their peers.
For instance, dyslexia affects a child’s ability to read and spell, but with early interventions such as phonological training and specialized reading programs, these students can achieve remarkable progress.
We regularly work with kindergartens and primary schools across Phuket, emphasizing the need for early intervention. Schools such as UWC Thailand International School have been proactive in collaborating with us to identify and support students in the early years, ensuring that appropriate accommodations are in place from the start of their educational journey.
Accommodations for Students with Learning Difficulties
Once a learning disability is identified, schools can offer a range of accommodations to help students succeed academically. These accommodations might include extra time on tests, alternative methods of assessment, or assistive technologies designed to support students with specific challenges.
Students with dysgraphia might benefit from using a computer for written assignments, while those with dyscalculia may receive visual aids to help with math.
In Phuket, we’ve noticed that while many schools are eager to provide support, they often lack the expertise or tools to do so effectively. This is where Global Education Testing steps in to advocate for your child.
