Comprehensive Evaluations for College Students & High Stakes Testing in Philadelphia, PA
College Accommodation Evaluations
​​
At Leonard Educational Evaluations, we offer comprehensive evaluations for college accommodations for soon-to-be college students, undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students, including documentation for both university disability services and standardized testing agencies (SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, NBME, MPRE, Bar Exam, and more).
​
When Should You Seek an Evaluation?
​​
Are you a college student struggling with focus, time management, anxiety, reading speed, or test performance? Have you been told you need formal documentation to access extended time, distraction-reduced testing, or academic accommodations? A college accommodation evaluation provides the clinical evidence and detailed report required to support these essential services.
​
A college or exam accommodation evaluation may be appropriate if:
-
You’ve always had to work harder than others to keep up
-
You’ve never been tested but suspect ADHD, dyslexia, or a processing disorder
-
You had an IEP or 504 Plan in K–12 but need updated documentation
-
You’ve been denied accommodations due to “insufficient evidence”
-
You’ve experienced a decline in academic performance or test-taking success
-
A therapist, coach, or advisor recommended formal testing
-
You’re planning to apply for accommodations on high-stakes exams within the next 3–6 months
Don’t wait until your test date is near—evaluation and approval can take weeks or months, depending on the exam board.
​
​What Is a College Accommodation Evaluation?
​
A college accommodation evaluation—also known as a psychoeducational evaluation or ADHD/learning disability assessment—is a comprehensive psychological and academic assessment used to:
-
Identify learning disabilities, ADHD, anxiety, or cognitive impairments
-
Document the functional impact of a diagnosis on academic or test performance
-
Support requests for accommodations such as extended time, separate testing rooms, note-taking support, or reduced course loads
-
Meet the documentation requirements of colleges, universities, and national testing boards
These evaluations must be conducted by a qualified professional and must include both diagnostic information and evidence of functional limitations.
​
What’s Included in a College Accommodations Evaluation
​
Each evaluation is tailored to the student’s symptoms, testing goals, and school or exam board requirements. A full assessment typically includes:
-
Clinical interview to explore academic, emotional, and functional history

Review of school records, prior IEPs/504 Plans (if applicable), and relevant documentation
-
Standardized testing in areas such as:
-
Cognitive functioning

Academic achievement

Executive functioning, processing speed, and working memory
-
Reading fluency, math fluency, or written expression (as relevant)
-

Detailed written report with:

Diagnostic conclusions (e.g., ADHD, SLD, Anxiety Disorder, etc.)
-
Explanation of how symptoms impact performance in college or exam settings

-
Language aligned with ADA, DSM-5, and relevant board policies
-
We ensure that all reports meet the documentation standards required by both universities and high-stakes testing agencies.
