Learning disabilities can significantly impact academic performance, self-esteem, and daily life. At Tema Therapy, we understand the importance of early and accurate Learning Disability Evaluation to identify challenges and create effective strategies for growth. Our team of licensed professionals is here to guide you through every step of the process, from assessment to treatment.
A Learning Disability Evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to identify specific learning challenges such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, or other processing disorders. Through a series of tests, interviews, and observations, our experts gather critical information about cognitive abilities, academic skills, and emotional well-being. This evaluation is the foundation for creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
A Скрининг нарушений обучаемости is an initial assessment designed to identify potential learning disabilities. This form of testing is particularly helpful for individuals who suspect they may have a learning disability but have never been formally diagnosed. Common learning disabilities identified through screening include dyslexia (difficulty with reading) and dyscalculia (difficulty with math).
Important Note: While a Learning Disability Screen provides valuable insights, it does not meet the specific documentation requirements for accommodations on standardized tests (e.g., SAT, LSAT, GMAT, MCAT, GRE) or in academic settings. For these purposes, a Comprehensive Learning Disability Evaluation is required.
For individuals seeking accommodations on standardized tests, college, or graduate programs, a Comprehensive Learning Disability Evaluation is necessary. This in-depth assessment meets the specific documentation requirements of testing boards and educational institutions.

If you’re unsure whether you qualify for accommodations, we recommend starting with a Скрининг нарушений обучаемости. If the screen indicates the presence of a learning disability, you can proceed with a Comprehensive Learning Disability Evaluation to build a strong case for accommodations.
Cost Consideration: The fee for the Learning Disability Screen is subtracted from the cost of the Comprehensive Evaluation, making it a cost-effective way to begin your journey.
Following a Learning Disability Evaluation, we offer a range of evidence-based treatments, including:

The cost of an LD assessment varies depending on where it is conducted geographically, type of professional who administers the assessment, and the assessment’s comprehensiveness. The cost of the assessments typically range between $500 – $2,500.
Some insurance policies will cover the cost of the assessment. Local mental health clinics and university psychology departments sometimes offer a sliding scale fee for the assessment. Vocational Rehabilitation agencies sometimes provide LD assessments at no cost as part of their intake process for agency applicants who are accepted as new clients.
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) clients who have either a history of LD OR disclose to their case managers that they think they have LD have a right to an LD assessment as part of their TANF services.
State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies have a lot of services for individuals with disabilities, and many offer adult evaluations for learning disabilities.
Colleges/Universities with onsite clinics for graduate student training can sometimes offer evaluations at discounted rates.

What is a learning disability evaluation?
A learning disability evaluation is a comprehensive assessment that identifies specific learning challenges, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or ADHD. It involves cognitive testing, academic assessments, and behavioral observations to determine strengths and weaknesses in learning processes.
How does neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) help with learning disabilities?
NLP techniques can support learning disabilities by improving communication patterns, enhancing memory retention, and reducing anxiety around learning. While NLP is not a standalone treatment, it can complement traditional therapies by reinforcing positive cognitive and behavioral strategies.
What are the signs that my child needs a learning disability screening?
Common signs include:
Difficulty reading, writing, or solving math problems
Trouble following instructions or staying organized
Poor memory retention
Avoidance of schoolwork or frustration with learning
Early screening can help identify these issues and provide targeted support.
What is involved in a psychoeducational assessment?
A psychoeducational assessment evaluates cognitive abilities, academic skills, and emotional functioning. It typically includes:
IQ testing
Academic achievement tests
Behavioral and emotional questionnaires
Classroom observations (if applicable)
Can adults get evaluated for learning disabilities?
Yes! Many adults discover undiagnosed learning disabilities later in life, especially if they struggled academically without explanation. Evaluations for adults focus on cognitive processing, executive functioning, and workplace-related challenges.
How long does a learning disability evaluation take?
The process can take 4–6 hours, often split across multiple sessions. A full report with recommendations is usually provided within 2–3 weeks after testing.
Will insurance cover my learning disability assessment?
Coverage varies by provider and plan. Some insurance companies cover evaluations if deemed medically necessary, while others may not. We recommend checking with your insurer beforehand.
What happens after the evaluation?
You’ll receive a detailed report outlining:
Diagnosis (if applicable)
Strengths and areas needing support
Personalized recommendations (e.g., IEP/504 plans, tutoring, therapy)
Follow-up consultations are available to discuss next steps.
Is there a difference between a learning disability and a learning difficulty?
Yes. A learning disability (e.g., dyslexia) is a neurologically based condition that persists despite intervention. A learning difficulty may be temporary and influenced by external factors (e.g., lack of instruction, stress).
How accurate are online learning disability screenings?
Online screenings can provide preliminary insights but are not diagnostic. A formal in-person evaluation with a specialist is necessary for an accurate assessment.
Do you offer remote evaluations?
Yes! We provide telehealth assessments for certain evaluations, depending on the individual’s needs. Contact us to discuss remote options.
What’s the role of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in managing learning disabilities?
CBT helps address emotional challenges (e.g., anxiety, low self-esteem) linked to learning disabilities by reshaping negative thought patterns and building coping strategies.
