Referral Concerns
Extended time, reduced-distraction testing, or other disability-related supports through campus disability services.
Accommodation requests for the BAR, MCAT, GRE, LSAT, GMAT, or state and professional licensing examinations.
Adults seeking evaluation for the first time who need current documentation to access support services.
Previously identified with a learning or attention difficulty, but existing records are outdated or insufficient.
The Value of Assessment
A comprehensive adult evaluation examines current cognitive functioning, academic achievement, and attention and processing skills—providing the data needed to support an accommodation request.
Whether a learning disability or attention difficulty is currently present and substantially limiting
Which specific accommodations the evaluation findings support
How to document findings for college disability offices or professional testing boards
What cognitive and achievement testing reveals about current strengths and challenges
Assessment Reasoning
Accommodation decisions depend on how a current difficulty affects specific tasks: reading dense course material, writing timed essays, taking exams, or taking notes in lectures. An adult evaluation documents current functioning and connects it to those demands, with a clear rationale for each requested accommodation.
Testing, academic history, prior documentation, and the student's own account of how they read, write, and study are considered together. A history of early difficulty and compensating strategies can explain why an adult performs adequately on untimed tasks but struggles with volume and time pressure.
Colleges, testing agencies, and employers make their own determinations under their own policies. A well-reasoned report explains why each accommodation is or is not supported by the data, which is more useful to a reviewer than a long list. No evaluation can guarantee approval, extra time, or admission.
Documentation
College disability offices and professional testing boards require current, comprehensive documentation to approve accommodations. A thorough evaluation provides the specific data and clinical narrative they need— including test scores, diagnostic impressions, and a clear rationale for each accommodation requested.
Evaluations are conducted using current nationally standardized instruments and are written to meet the documentation guidelines of major testing programs, including those administered by the College Board, ACT, LSAC, NBME, and state licensing boards.
Who It Serves
College and university students seeking extended time, reduced-distraction testing, or other academic accommodations
Graduate students applying for accommodations on the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, or similar exams
Adults pursuing professional or licensing exams—including the BAR, state licensing boards, and credentialing programs
Adults who were identified with learning or attention difficulties in school and need updated documentation for current programs or employers
