Frequently Asked Questions

Have more questions? Email us at [email protected] for further queries.

What Are the Signs of Learning Disabilities?

Indicators include slow reading, difficulty with math concepts, trouble writing or organizing thoughts, memory issues, distractibility, and inconsistent school performance. Assessments help confirm if these behaviors are due to specific learning disabilities or other underlying factors.

How Long Does the Learning Disabilities Assessment Take?

The full evaluation typically spans 4 to 6 hours over two sessions. This includes testing cognitive processing, academic skills, memory, attention, and follow-up reporting to ensure comprehensive insights.

Will My Child Qualify for an IEP Based on This?

Yes, many of our assessments support special education eligibility decisions. Results are formatted to meet school documentation standards and assist in IEP or 504 Plan applications.

How Are Learning Disabilities Different From ADHD?

Learning disabilities specifically impact academic skills like reading, writing, and math, while ADHD affects attention, hyperactivity, and impulse control. We use differential diagnosis methods to identify one or both conditions and guide appropriate supports.

What Happens After the Assessment?

You’ll receive a detailed written report outlining diagnosis, strengths, academic challenges, and recommended strategies, accommodations, and interventions. We also offer a feedback session to help you advocate for your child’s needs in school and at home.

Who Administers the Evaluation?

Assessments are conducted and interpreted by licensed clinical or school psychologists trained in learning disability diagnosis. They follow best practices set by professional organizations to ensure accurate, trustworthy results.
