Learning Disability Testing
Feeling like your student is falling behind in school?
Trouble keeping up with academic assignments?
Concerned about test-taking performance?
Wondering if maybe a learning disability is the cause?
There are many factors that can contribute to learning difficulties. In order to get the relief that you seek, it is essential to get an accurate understanding of what is contributing to learning obstacles. Without clarity, it can be a discouraging guessing process to try to get help.
Psychological testing is a powerful diagnostic process that helps understand your difficulties. Educational testing is comprehensive and multifaceted which helps provide clarity as to why you’re struggling.

Everyone learns at different paces and in different ways. However, when learning concerns become a significant barrier to a student’s success in school, there may be a learning disability contributing to such hardship. Learning disabilities such as Dyslexia (reading disability), Dysgraphia (writing disability), and Dyscalculia (mathematics disability) can make learning very difficult and frustrating for students. For students who suffer from undiagnosed learning disabilities, they may feel low self-esteem or fail to meet their true potential. The good news is that getting an accurate diagnosis can help pave the way for accommodations in school and support at home to help a student succeed.
A comprehensive psycho-educational assessment is $2500. Once you get an accurate diagnosis, your student can get support from a 504 plan or an IEP at their school. These plans are tailored to help address your student’s learning differences and help them achieve their potential. We will meet to discuss what supports will work best and how to help set you up for success.
