Learning Disability Testing & Assessment
Understanding how your child learns — so the right support can follow.
A learning disability evaluation is designed to better understand how your child learns, processes information, and approaches academic tasks.
Sometimes a child is working hard but not making expected progress. Other times, they may seem capable but struggle with specific areas like reading, writing, or math.
The goal is
understanding, not a label.
The evaluation
A Comprehensive & Individualized Evaluation
The evaluation is designed to understand how your child’s brain takes in and works with reading, writing, and math. It may include assessment of areas such as:
⸻
Intellectual & cognitive abilities
⸻
Academic skills
⸻
Language processing
⸻
Memory & learning
⸻
Attention & executive functioning
⸻
Processing speed
The evaluation is designed to understand why learning feels harder in certain areas, identify your child’s strengths, and determine what supports will help them learn more comfortably and confidently.
All evaluations are tailored to the individual child.
Many neurodivergent individuals also experience co-occurring mental health symptoms (e.g., anxiety), which are also assessed as part of the evaluation.
what families gain
From the evaluation, you will gain:
Clear Learning Profile
A clear understanding of your child’s learning profile — including strengths and areas where learning feels more difficult.
Practical Guidance
Specific recommendations for school, home, and academic support, including appropriate accommodations.
Actionable Next Steps
Guidance for educational planning and support, helping your child learn more comfortably and confidently.
The goal is to understand why learning feels harder in certain areas and what supports will help your child learn in a way that fits their unique learning style.
Many families report that the evaluation provides answers, language for advocacy, and a clearer path forward.
What Can be Clarified
Understanding the underlying pattern
A learning disability evaluation can help determine whether academic challenges are consistent with specific learning differences.
Dyslexia
A learning difference that makes it hard to read and spell, especially due to difficulty connecting letters with sounds. This leads to further reading challenges.
Dysgraphia
Differences in writing, including organization, clarity, and fine motor skills
Dyscalculia
Differences in understanding numbers, math concepts, and problem-solving
Other learning-related difficulties
Differences in attention, executive functioning, or emotional regulation
What to expect
A Steady, Supportive Process
I guide the process carefully and systematically from beginning to end.
01
Consultation & Background Review
We begin with a comprehensive intake to discuss concerns, developmental history, and evaluation goals. I review relevant records to build a thorough foundation.
02
Individualized Testing
Each evaluation is tailored to the referral questions. I personally select, administer, and score all measures based on evidence-based practice and clinical judgment.
03
Careful Analysis & Interpretation
Results are carefully synthesized within the broader cognitive, academic, developmental, and emotional context. I examine patterns rather than relying on isolated scores.
04
Comprehensive Report & Feedback
You receive a feedback session, often the same week as testing. Children get a personalized feedback session too. A detailed written report follows within two weeks.
A note on strength
Understanding how your child learns
A learning disability evaluation helps us understand how your child’s brain works with reading, writing, and math. It is not about intelligence, effort, or motivation.
Many children who need this evaluation are bright and capable, but their learning style doesn’t match how these skills are typically taught.
Fun Fact ✦
Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter, has dysgraphia.
People with learning differences often have meaningful strengths alongside their challenges. Many excel at seeing patterns, understanding big-picture concepts, or making connections others might miss.
