Learning Disability Evaluations
Learning disability evaluations are specialized psychological assessments designed to identify how an individual processes information and where learning challenges may be occurring.
These evaluations help clarify why a student or adult may be struggling academically despite effort, intelligence, or appropriate instruction.
At Brighter Day Psychological Services, our licensed psychologists and certified assessment professionals conduct thorough, evidence-based learning disability evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults.
Our goal is to provide clear diagnostic insight and practical recommendations that support educational success, accommodations, and long-term confidence.
Who Is a Learning Disability Evaluation For?
Support for children, students, and adults seeking clarity and academic support.
Learning disability evaluations may be helpful for individuals who:
-
Struggle with reading, writing, math, or overall academic performance
-
Show a gap between intellectual ability and academic achievement
-
Experience frustration, low confidence, or anxiety related to learning
-
Are seeking academic accommodations in school, college, or testing environments
-
Have been referred by schools, physicians, therapists, or other providers
Because learning disabilities often co-occur with attention and executive functioning challenges, a comprehensive evaluation helps ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate support.
Common Learning Disabilities Assessed
Learning disability evaluations may help identify specific learning differences, including:
difficulty with reading, decoding, or reading fluency
difficulty with written expression, spelling, or handwriting
difficulty with math concepts, calculations, or number sense
Proper identification allows for targeted interventions and accommodations that align with how the individual learns best.
Learning Disabilities & ADHD
Learning disabilities and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) frequently occur together. When both are present, academic challenges may be more complex and persistent.
Our evaluations are designed to assess for co-occurring conditions, helping distinguish whether difficulties are related to a learning disability, ADHD, or both.
This clarity is essential for developing effective educational plans, treatment strategies, and accommodations.
What the Learning Disability Evaluation Includes
Each evaluation is individualized and may include:
-
Comprehensive clinical and developmental interview
-
Review of educational records and academic history
-
Cognitive and intellectual assessment
-
Academic achievement testing
-
Attention, executive functioning, and processing measures
-
Emotional and behavioral screening when appropriate
All findings are integrated to provide a complete picture of learning strengths and challenges.
