The Diagnostic Rating Scales for Learning Difficulties is a comprehensive screening and evaluation toolkit designed to support early identification and preliminary diagnosis of students with potential learning difficulties across multiple domains. This resource provides structured rating scales completed by teachers, enabling systematic observation and documentation of students’ academic performance, cognitive processing, and behavioural patterns within real classroom contexts. The tool covers a wide range of developmental and learning domains including reading, writing, mathematics, memory, attention, motor coordination, behavioural regulation, and socio-emotional functioning, offering a holistic profile of the learner. Each scale is built using a standardized 5-point rating system, allowing educators to quantify observed behaviours and determine severity levels ranging from low to high risk. The resource also includes scoring keys, interpretation guidelines, and risk indicators, supporting professionals in making informed decisions regarding further assessment or intervention. In addition, the toolkit integrates well-established diagnostic frameworks, including adaptations of internationally recognized measures (e.g., Michael Best Scale), enhancing its validity and applicability in diverse educational settings. This resource is ideal for teachers, psychologists, special educators, and assessment centres, and serves as a critical first step in the identification pathway before formal psycho-educational assessment.
