College Accommodation Evaluations

​

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.

​

At Leonard Educational Evaluations, we offer comprehensive evaluations for college accommodations, including documentation for both university disability services and standardized testing agencies (SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, NBME, MPRE, Bar Exam, and more).

​

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

​

Our reports are used to secure accommodations such as:

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

• Distraction-reduced or separate testing environments

• Breaks during testing (scheduled or as needed)

• Use of assistive technology (e.g., keyboarding, text-to-speech software)

• 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 needed for specific testing boards (e.g., LSAC, AAMC, NBME, etc.).

​

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’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.
