Learning Disability Evaluations
At Leonard Educational Evaluations, we specialize in identifying learning differences for children, teens, college students, and adult learners. Our psychoeducational assessments diagnose dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and related processing disorders. Each evaluation provides the documentation needed for IEPs, 504 Plans, tutoring interventions, and high-stakes testing accommodations.
Is your child or student struggling in reading, writing, or math despite appropriate instruction or strong effort? Has their performance declined, or are they falling behind without a clear explanation? A learning disability evaluation identifies the underlying cause and provides a roadmap for meaningful support.
What Is a Learning Disability Evaluation?
​
A learning disability evaluation — also known as a psychoeducational assessment or SLD evaluation — examines how an individual learns and processes information. Testing determines whether a Specific Learning Disability (SLD) is present in areas such as:
-
Reading (Dyslexia)
-
Writing (Dysgraphia)
-
Mathematics (Dyscalculia)
-
Language processing
-
Processing speed and working memory
-
Executive functioning
All evaluations meet federal IDEA requirements and state documentation standards, and are accepted by public and private schools, testing agencies, and college disability offices.
What’s Included in a Learning Disability Assessment
​
Each evaluation is individualized, developmentally appropriate, and research-based. Components may include:
-
Clinical interview with the parent, student, or adult client
-
Review of school records and prior evaluations
-
Cognitive testing

Academic achievement testing
-
Specialized measures of phonological processing, orthographic processing, and reading fluency
