HOBOKEN, N.J., January 29, 2025 — Pearson (FTSE: PSON.L), the world’s lifelong learning company, and Giunti Psychometrics, a global leader in scientific psychometrics and mental health technology, today announced a new exclusive agreement for Giunti Psychometrics to distribute, adapt, and localize Pearson’s Spanish-language clinical assessments and tools across Spanish-speaking Latin America. The collaboration expands access to culturally relevant, locally validated clinical assessments that align with each market’s scientific, clinical, and regulatory standards and helps address the region’s growing need for mental health support.
This agreement builds on both companies’ longstanding commitment to providing clinicians, schools, health care systems and government institutions with world-class, evidence-based assessments. Together, Pearson Clinical Assessment and Giunti Psychometrics bring nearly 150 years of combined expertise and a shared reputation for delivering fair, valid assessments trusted by clinicians to support their clients’ learning, well-being, and development.
“Pearson’s mission is to help people achieve the lives they imagine through learning,” said Gert Jaap Schoppink, Vice President, Clinical Assessments International at Pearson. “By joining forces with Giunti Psychometrics, we are helping clinical professionals in Latin America better serve their communities with proven, locally relevant clinical assessments supported by the training and resources they need to use them effectively. It reflects our ongoing effort to advance reliable, rigorous clinical assessment globally.”
Meeting a Growing Mental Health Need in Latin America
Across Latin America, demand for high-quality clinical assessments, mental health software, and integrated clinical technology platforms is accelerating. According to the United Nations Development Programme, one in four people in the region will experience a mental health disorder in their lifetime, and rates of anxiety and depression are rising faster than global averages.
“This agreement represents a major step forward in democratizing access to high-quality psychological knowledge across Spanish-speaking Latin America,” said Daniel Giunti, President of Giunti Psychometrics. “By combining Pearson’s globally trusted assessment portfolio with Giunti’s longstanding presence, scientific expertise and commitment to local adaptation, we are creating a robust ecosystem that empowers professionals and ultimately benefits individuals, families and communities across the region.”
Assessments that Set the Global Standard
Among the assessments covered by the partnership are the WAIS-5, the gold standard for measuring adult cognitive ability; the WPPSI-IV, a child-friendly tool designed to assess early intellectual development; and the Bayley-4, a widely used developmental scale that evaluates cognitive, language, and motor milestones in infants and toddlers. Together, these assessments provide comprehensive insights across the life span, supporting accurate diagnosis and tailored interventions.
Key Benefits of the Agreement
- Broader access: Expands availability of evidence-based clinical assessment tools and training for clinicians, educators, and organizations across Latin America.
- Localized solutions: Ensures resources are culturally and linguistically adapted to meet the unique needs of Spanish-speaking Latin American markets.
Giunti Psychometrics will begin distributing Pearson’s U.S. Spanish‑language assessments in February, with localized versions for Latin American markets to follow. To learn more about Pearson Clinical Assessment, visit https://www.pearsonassessments.com/.
