Hello, it's been a long time between posts...

My 16yr old has a long history of testing for all sorts of things (she's somewhere between MG-HG, Aspie, dyslexic, APD, hypermobile joints, etc). She's currently not had any tests of any kind for about 3.5 years and has been doing well at school, not without issues, but mostly showing more of her gifts than her weaknesses. However, she needs to be able to type her long answer written exams (English and History) for year 11/12 IB and so we are no required to jump through all the hoops again.

She has (fairly) neat handwriting and can produce large volumes of handwriting at a decent speed (with increasing pain for length of time). Her issue is that her writing quality degrades, she loses over all quality of expression, sentence structure, punctuation, output becomes too long, etc. She feels like she can't "think".

We've been asked for a "Full Educational Assessment" ie IQ and academic testing, but it's not really clear to me what aspect of a standard set of IQ/matched academic tests is going to identify and address this issue. Does anyone have any insight?
