Adult Learning Disability Evaluations

At Whole Mind Psychological Services, we provide comprehensive Adult Learning Disability Evaluations to help individuals understand their unique learning style, cognitive strengths, and challenges that may impact academic, professional, or everyday performance. Many adults spend years developing strategies to work around learning difficulties without fully understanding why certain tasks feel more challenging. Our evidence-based evaluations provide clarity, identify learning patterns, and offer practical recommendations designed around each individual’s needs.

Rhonda M.

It was a pleasure working with Michelle. She was professional and diligent in meeting the needs of our schools. Michelle hit the road running and was instrumental in ensuring that our schools remained compliant with state and federal regulations. Her services are highly recommended, and I hope I get the chance to work with her in the future.

Colleague

What sets Michelle apart is how she presents complex findings in a way that families truly understand. I’ve sat in meetings where parents arrived anxious and overwhelmed, and left feeling informed, reassured, and empowered. She has a rare ability to balance clinical depth with warmth and clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an adult learning disability evaluation?

An adult learning disability evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to identify learning challenges that may affect reading, writing, mathematics, memory, attention, processing speed, or other cognitive skills. The evaluation helps determine whether a learning disability is present and provides recommendations for educational, workplace, and daily living accommodations.

Who should consider an adult learning disability evaluation?

Adults who have experienced lifelong difficulties with learning, reading, writing, organization, concentration, or academic performance may benefit from an evaluation. It is also appropriate for college students seeking accommodations, professionals facing work-related challenges, or individuals who suspect they have an undiagnosed learning disability.

What is included in an adult learning disability evaluation?

An adult learning disability evaluation can identify specific learning disorders such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. It may also assess for attention-related difficulties, executive functioning challenges, memory issues, and other cognitive concerns. In some cases, the evaluation may recommend additional assessments if another condition is suspected.

What happens during the evaluation process?

The evaluation typically includes an interview about your educational, medical, and personal history, followed by standardized tests that measure cognitive abilities, academic achievement, memory, language, attention, and problem-solving skills. The process is tailored to your individual concerns and may take several hours or multiple appointments.

How long does an adult learning disability evaluation take?

The length of the evaluation varies depending on the complexity of the assessment. Most evaluations require between three and six hours of testing, which may be completed in one session or divided into multiple appointments. A follow-up meeting is usually scheduled to review the results.
