Comprehensive Learning Disability and Academic Testing
Learning difficulties can affect reading, writing, mathematics, academic fluency, and the ability to acquire or demonstrate knowledge. Some people experience persistent difficulty despite adequate instruction and effort, while others perform well in some subjects but struggle significantly in specific areas.
When Is a Learning Evaluation Appropriate?
Evaluation may help when there are persistent problems with reading, spelling, written expression, mathematics, fluency, retaining information, completing assignments, or academic performance that seems inconsistent with ability.
Learning difficulties may occur independently or alongside ADHD, autism, anxiety, and other conditions.
Understanding Specific Learning Disorders
Specific learning disorder involves persistent difficulty acquiring or using academic skills. Dyslexia commonly describes difficulties with word-reading accuracy, fluency, and spelling; dysgraphia may involve handwriting and/or written expression; dyscalculia describes difficulties with numerical understanding, calculation, and mathematical reasoning.
What Does a Learning Evaluation Include?
An evaluation may include academic achievement testing, cognitive assessment, attention and executive functioning measures, emotional and behavioral assessment, review of educational history and records, and diagnostic integration.
College Students, Adults, and Academic Accommodations
College students and adults may seek clarification of longstanding difficulties or documentation related to educational or testing accommodations. Reports can describe diagnoses, functional limitations, findings, and recommendations when clinically appropriate.
Cogniscribe does not determine eligibility; accommodation decisions are made by the institution reviewing the request.
