FAQs for Learning Disability Assessments

We are dedicated to providing specialized and compassionate care in psychological evaluations.

How is a learning disability diagnosed?

A learning disability is diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation, which includes cognitive testing, academic assessments, and behavioral observations. This helps identify areas where processing difficulties impact academic performance.

 
At what age can a learning disability be diagnosed?
Learning disabilities can be diagnosed as early as school age, usually around 5-7 years old when academic challenges first emerge. However, assessments can be conducted at any age, including adulthood, to identify and address learning issues.
 
Can learning disabilities be diagnosed through telehealth?

Yes, learning disability evaluations can be conducted through telehealth. We use a combination of virtual cognitive tests, academic assessments, and consultations to provide an accurate diagnosis from the comfort of your home.

 
What happens after a learning disability diagnosis?

Following a diagnosis, a detailed report is provided with personalized recommendations. This may include accommodations for school or work, strategies for overcoming challenges, and ongoing support to help individuals reach their full potential.

What are some of the most common learning disabilities?

Common learning disabilities include:

  • Dyslexia: Affects reading abilities, making it difficult to recognize words, spell, and comprehend written material.
  • Dyscalculia: Impacts a person’s ability to understand and work with numbers, making math-related tasks challenging.
  • Dysgraphia: Causes difficulties with writing, including trouble with spelling, handwriting, and organizing thoughts on paper.
  • Auditory Processing Disorder: Affects how the brain processes sounds, making it hard to understand spoken language, especially in noisy environments.
  • Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD): Involves challenges with spatial awareness, motor skills, and interpreting nonverbal cues, while verbal skills may be strong.

These learning disabilities can impact academic performance and daily activities, but with proper support, individuals can develop strategies to overcome challenges.

Additionally, we offer 12-24 month interest-free payment plans through CareCredit to make our services more accessible and manageable.
