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)

  • Attention and behavioral rating scales

  • Emotional/mental health screeners 

• Detailed written report with:

  • Diagnostic conclusions (e.g., ADHD, SLD, Anxiety Disorder, etc.)

  • Explanation of how symptoms impact performance in college or exam settings

  • Clear, test-specific accommodation recommendations

  • 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.

​

Common Accommodations We Support
