To prepare your child for the NVOX assessment, consider the following steps to ensure a smooth experience:

  1. Explain the Purpose: Inform your child about the assessment in simple terms, emphasizing that it’s a way to understand their unique learning profile.
  2. Create a Comfortable Environment: Set up a quiet, well-lit area where your child feels at ease and can concentrate.
  3. Ensure Technical Readiness:
  • Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable and strong internet connection. A wired connection is preferable for reliability. If wireless is the only option, position the device close to the router to strengthen the signal.
  • Check Devices: Confirm that all necessary devices, including a computer are in good working order. Make sure that the printer is ready for printing any required writing pages. Also, check that the camera, microphone, and speakers are connected and functioning properly.
  1. Schedule Appropriately: Choose a time when your child is usually alert and well-rested, avoiding periods when they might be tired or hungry.
  2. Discuss the Format: Brief your child on the assessment’s format to alleviate any anxiety, explaining that they will answer questions on a computer.
  3. Encourage a Positive Attitude: Reassure them that there are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers and the assessment is simply a way to learn more about their learning style.
  4. Remind Them of Support: Assure your child that they can ask for help if needed and that you’re there to support them.

By carefully preparing for the assessment in these ways, you can help ensure that your child has a positive and stress-free experience with NVOX.
