College & Graduate School Accommodations Evaluations in PA, NJ, NYC & Online

​

Are you a college student struggling with focus, time management, anxiety, reading speed, or test performance? Have you been told you need updated documentation to access extended time, reduced-distraction testing, or academic accommodations?

​

A college accommodation evaluation provides the diagnostic clarity and detailed report required by universities and high-stakes testing agencies (SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, NBME, MPRE, Bar Exam, and more).

​

At Leonard Educational Evaluations, we specialize in comprehensive evaluations for undergraduate students, graduate students, and adult learners seeking academic, disability, and test-taking accommodations.

What Is a College Accommodation Evaluation?

​

A college accommodation evaluation—also called a psychoeducational evaluation, learning disability assessment, or ADHD evaluation for college students—is a clinical 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 documentation requirements for universities and major testing boards

Evaluations must follow ADA, DSM-5, and testing board standards and 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 needs, testing agency requirements, and functional concerns. A full assessment may include:

• Clinical interview to explore academic, emotional, and functional history

• Review of school records, prior evaluations, and 504/IEP documentation

• Standardized testing in areas such as:

  • Cognitive functioning

  • Academic achievement

  • Executive functioning, processing speed, working memory

  • Reading fluency, math fluency, or written expression (as relevant)

• Emotional and behavioral rating scales

• Mental health screening when appropriate

• Detailed written report with:

  • Diagnostic conclusions (e.g., ADHD, SLD, anxiety)

  • Explanation of how symptoms impact academic or testing demands

  • Clear, test-specific accommodation recommendations

  • Documentation aligned with ADA, DSM-5, and testing-board policies

We ensure all documentation meets the strict standards required by both universities and high-stakes testing agencies.

Common Accommodations We Support

​

Our reports are frequently used to secure accommodations such as:

• Extended time (50% or 100%) on exams and assignments

• Distraction-reduced or separate testing environments

• Breaks during testing

• Use of assistive technology (keyboarding, text-to-speech, speech-to-text)

• Reduced course load due to cognitive or psychological limitations

• Priority registration or housing accommodations

• Emotional support documentation (if clinically appropriate)

We also provide follow-up letters or revisions when testing agencies (e.g., LSAC, AAMC, NBME) require additional documentation.

When Should You Seek an Evaluation?

​

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’re experiencing academic decline or difficulty with exams

• A therapist, doctor, or professor recommended formal testing

• You’re preparing to apply for accommodations for an upcoming exam

• You plan to take a high-stakes test within the next 3–6 months

Don’t wait until your exam date is close—approval for accommodations can take weeks or months depending on the testing board.

FAQ – College & High-Stakes Testing Accommodations

​

What is a college accommodation evaluation?
A college accommodation evaluation is a comprehensive assessment used to diagnose ADHD, learning disabilities, processing disorders, anxiety, or cognitive impairments and document how these conditions impact academic and test-taking performance.

​

Do I need updated testing to request accommodations?
Yes. Most universities and testing boards require recent documentation—usually within the last 3–5 years—to approve accommodations such as extended time or separate testing environments.

​

Which high-stakes tests accept your evaluations?
Our reports are accepted by major testing organizations including LSAC, AAMC, NBME, ETS, GMAC, and NCBE (LSAT, MCAT, USMLE, GRE, GMAT, MPRE, Bar Exam, and more).

​

Do you test for ADHD, dyslexia, and processing disorders?
Yes. We evaluate attention, executive functioning, reading fluency, writing, processing speed, working memory, and learning disabilities such as dyslexia or dysgraphia.

​

What accommodations can an evaluation support?
Extended time, separate/testing-reduced environments, assistive technology, breaks during testing, reduced course loads, emotional support documentation (when appropriate), and more.

​

How long does the evaluation take?
Most evaluations occur over 1–2 sessions. Reports are typically completed within 7–14 days. Rush options may be available depending on your test date.

​

Do you accept insurance?
We are an out-of-network provider. Students may be eligible for partial reimbursement depending on their insurance plan. We provide detailed invoices upon request.

​

Will your report help if I’ve been denied accommodations before?
Often, yes. Many denials happen because documentation lacked objective testing or clear evidence of functional limitations. Our evaluations specifically address these requirements.

​

Do you offer online evaluations?
Yes. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant hybrid and online assessments for students in PA, NJ, and NYC as allowed by testing policies.

​

How far in advance should I schedule an evaluation?
As early as possible—accommodation approvals can take weeks or months. Students preparing for LSAT, MCAT, GRE, or licensing exams should schedule 3–6 months ahead.
