College Accommodation Evaluations for NYC College & Graduate Students
New York City students face intense academic and testing demands. If you’re studying at a college or university in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, or Staten Island and struggling with attention, reading speed, working memory, or test anxiety, a college accommodation evaluation in NYC can help.
We support students seeking accommodations at NYC colleges and universities as well as on high-stakes exams like the LSAT, MCAT, USMLE, GRE, GMAT, Bar Exam, and more.
What Is a College Accommodation Evaluation?
A college accommodation evaluation is a comprehensive assessment that:
-
Clarifies whether ADHD, learning disabilities, processing disorders, or mental health conditions are affecting your academic and testing performance
-
Provides objective test data and clinical interpretation
-
Links your difficulties to specific limitations in reading, writing, focus, processing speed, or test-taking
-
Offers clearly justified accommodation recommendations consistent with ADA, DSM-5, and testing-board standards
Our NYC evaluations are designed with documentation expectations of competitive universities and testing agencies in mind.

When Should NYC Students Seek an Evaluation?
You may benefit from an evaluation if:
-
Rigorous NYC coursework has made longstanding attention or reading issues more obvious
-
You struggle to finish exams on time despite knowing the material
-
You’ve been advised by a professor, advisor, or mental health provider to get evaluated
-
You’re preparing to apply for accommodations on an upcoming high-stakes exam
-
You previously had support in school but lack current, college-level documentation
Because many NYC schools and testing boards have strict timelines, we encourage students to start the evaluation process several months before major exam dates.
