Clarity for UC Students
College and graduate school can bring longstanding difficulties with attention, organization, learning, executive functioning, social communication, or emotional functioning into sharper focus.
Some students seek an evaluation because they have struggled for years without fully understanding why. Others may have received previous diagnoses or treatment but continue to have questions.
Cogniscribe provides individualized evaluations designed around the specific questions that bring each person to testing. Evaluations may clarify diagnoses, identify strengths and weaknesses, guide treatment recommendations, and provide documentation and recommendations when appropriate.

Evaluations consider developmental history, social communication, behavior, sensory experiences, masking or compensatory strategies, and overlapping conditions.

Learn About Learning & Academic EvaluationsAssessment of cognitive abilities including reasoning, memory, processing speed, attention, and other areas of cognitive functioning. These evaluations can identify patterns of cognitive strengths and weaknesses and address specific diagnostic or clinical questions.
Learn About Cognitive & Intellectual EvaluationsFor complex symptoms, overlapping concerns, previous diagnoses that may not fully explain a student’s experiences, or uncertainty about what may be contributing to difficulties. Assessment may consider ADHD, autism, anxiety, mood, learning, cognitive functioning, and other factors.
Learn About Comprehensive Diagnostic EvaluationsNo Diagnosis Needed
Some students come to Cogniscribe already knowing exactly what they want evaluated. Others simply know that something has been difficult and want a better understanding of why.
You do not need to determine the diagnosis yourself before requesting an evaluation. When appropriate, comprehensive assessment can consider multiple possible explanations rather than beginning with the assumption that a particular diagnosis is correct.
Insurance
Cogniscribe accepts UC SHIP through Anthem Blue Cross and Wellfleet for participating schools. Our team can help review your insurance information before an evaluation is scheduled. Verification of benefits does not guarantee coverage or payment by the insurance plan.
Verify UC SHIP BenefitsWe begin by understanding your concerns, relevant history, current functioning, and the questions you hope the evaluation will answer.
Testing is individualized to the referral question and may examine attention, executive functioning, cognitive abilities, academics, social communication, emotional functioning, or other relevant areas.
The information gathered is integrated into a written report describing findings, diagnostic impressions when appropriate, and individualized recommendations.
We review the results with you, answer questions, and discuss recommendations and appropriate next steps.
Academic Support
Psychological assessment may provide information that is useful when a student is seeking academic accommodations or other educational support.
When clinically appropriate, reports can document relevant diagnoses, functional limitations, assessment findings, and recommendations. Cogniscribe does not determine eligibility; accommodation decisions are made by the student’s university according to its own policies and requirements.
If you are seeking an evaluation specifically for accommodations, we recommend reviewing your university’s documentation requirements before testing whenever possible.
For UC Students
Cogniscribe provides psychological assessment for UC students seeking greater clarity about ADHD, autism, learning, cognitive functioning, and other psychological or neurodevelopmental concerns. Whether concerns have recently emerged or have been present for many years, a comprehensive evaluation can help provide a clearer understanding of your individual strengths, difficulties, and diagnostic picture.
Across California
Cogniscribe Psychological Services provides psychological evaluations for individuals throughout California. Depending on the type of evaluation and the individual’s clinical needs, assessments may be completed remotely through telehealth, in person at our Sacramento-area office, or through a combination of remote and in-person services.
Many components can be completed remotely, including clinical interviews, questionnaires, and certain forms of testing. For some evaluations, specific tests, clinical circumstances, or assessment requirements may make in-person testing necessary or preferable.
We determine the appropriate format individually so that the evaluation remains clinically appropriate and the results are valid and reliable.
Our evaluations are individualized to the clinical question and may incorporate multiple sources of information rather than relying solely on brief screening measures.
We consider overlapping and alternative explanations when symptoms may involve more than one psychological or neurodevelopmental condition.
We work with college students and adults, including individuals seeking an ADHD or autism diagnosis for the first time.
Cogniscribe participates with a number of major insurance plans, including UC SHIP through Anthem Blue Cross and Wellfleet.
