Why Our Approach Works
At Diagnostic Learning Services, we never evaluate a single skill in isolation. Our adult psychoeducational assessments connect the dots between reading, writing, math, attention, memory, executive functioning, and processing to ensure accurate diagnoses and practical next steps.
Whether your goal is college accommodations, standardized testing documentation, workplace support, or simply understanding lifelong challenges, our goal is to give you clear answers and a plan that leads to lasting success.
Comprehensive Psychoeducational Evaluations for Adults
Our adult evaluations identify the underlying causes of learning, attention, or processing difficulties that can affect performance in professional or daily life settings.
Whether you’ve struggled for years—or you’re noticing challenges at work—our assessments are designed to determine whether difficulties stem from:
• A specific learning disability (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia)
• ADHD and executive functioning challenges
• Processing, memory, or attention differences that affect learning and productivity
Each evaluation provides more than a diagnosis. You gain insight, self-understanding, and evidence-based recommendations you can use immediately.
Results may support documentation needs for:
• Standardized testing accommodations (GRE, LSAT, MCAT, NCLEX, and more)
• Workplace accommodations under ADA guidelines
What Our Assessments Measure
Our comprehensive evaluation examines key areas of learning and cognition, including:
Learning Disabilities
Identifying dyslexia (reading), dysgraphia (writing), and dyscalculia (math) to clarify academic and functional needs.
Attention and Focus
Evaluating for adult ADHD and attention-related difficulties that affect performance.
Visual and Auditory Processing
Understanding how the brain interprets information through sight and sound.
Problem-Solving & Processing Speed
Measuring reasoning, cognitive flexibility, and how efficiently information is understood.
Memory
Assessing short-term and long-term memory essential for retention and comprehension.
Academic Skills
Measuring reading, writing, and math skills to identify patterns that may indicate a learning disability.
What to Expect on the Day of Testing
During your evaluation, you’ll meet one-on-one with an assessment specialist and complete structured, interactive tasks that measure attention, processing, memory, executive function, and reasoning—building a complete picture of how you learn.
Every evaluation is personalized to your goals—whether you are:
• requesting college accommodations,
• preparing for professional or graduate exams, or
• seeking clarity about lifelong learning challenges and productivity difficulties.
After the Evaluation: Creating a “Road Map” for Success
Our goal is not only to provide diagnostic clarity, but to equip you with the knowledge and strategies to move forward.
Within 10 to 14 business days of your evaluation, you’ll meet with a Diagnostic Learning Services Director to review the results. During this meeting, the director explains findings and recommendations in clear, practical terms.
Your written report becomes a valuable tool you can use to:
• share documentation with professors or employers,
• support standardized testing accommodation requests, and
• build a personalized plan for ongoing success.
Let us help you become the expert in your own success—at work and beyond.
Tip:
Follow-up appointments are an excellent time to ask detailed questions and clarify recommendations.
Based on the assessment results we may recommend:
• Requesting workplace accommodations: tailored support such as extended time, reduced distractions, written instructions, or alternative communication methods.
• Exploring specialized interventions: targeted strategies for reading, writing, math, or executive functioning.
• Using assistive technology: voice-to-text, text-to-speech, organizational systems, and productivity tools.
• Accessing external resources and support networks: coaching, counseling, support groups, or academic success services.
What is Dyscalculia?
/Dis-kal-coo-lee-uh/
Dyscalculia is a learning disability that affects number processing, math reasoning, and time management. For adults, it often shows up in daily tasks—calculating tips, managing finances, estimating time, or understanding schedules—and can create stress at work or school.
Note:
Dyscalculia is not a reflection of intelligence. It is a specific difficulty with processing numerical information and mathematical concepts.
Red flags of Dyscalculia
If you notice these signs in your child, they may be experiencing the effects of dyscalculia
Trouble with basic math skills
Weak number sense (quantities don’t feel intuitive)
Difficulty with multi-step problems
Challenges reading clocks or estimating time
Mental math feels slow or impossible
Direction/spatial confusion
Difficulty managing money or calculating change
Confusion with time, dates, and timelines
Did you know?
Many adults with dyscalculia have spent years feeling “bad at math” without understanding why. Diagnosis can provide relief and unlock tools, strategies, and academic or workplace supports that reduce stress and improve daily performance.
Why We Look at the Whole Picture
We evaluate math challenges alongside reading, writing, attention, memory, and processing to ensure the most accurate diagnosis and plan.
FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our diagnostic services and processes.
What is a 'psycho-educational evaluation'?
A psycho-educational evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to provide a clear, detailed picture of how someone learns, processes, and retains information. It involves tests that measure cognitive abilities (like memory, problem-solving, and reasoning skills), academic achievement (reading, math, and writing performance), or attention difficulties.
These assessments are crucial to help identify learning disabilities, ADHD, or other learning-related challenges while providing clear documentation and a detailed roadmap of an individual’s strengths and areas of need. This information helps parents, educators, or employers understand why someone may be struggling and what types of supports, accommodations, or interventions will be most effective. Without a comprehensive evaluation, it can be difficult to accurately pinpoint the root of these challenges or how to provide meaningful, effective support moving forward.
Will schools or colleges accept your evaluations for accommodations?
Yes, absolutely. Our comprehensive reports are meticulously designed to meet the rigorous standards and specific documentation requirements set forth by all educational institutions and testing authorities.
Diagnostic Learning is committed to staying up-to-date on the latest evolving guidelines, laws, and best practices across the educational and testing landscapes. The documentation you receive from us will be current, compliant, and universally accepted, giving you peace of mind and reducing the stress of the accommodations process.
How soon can we schedule testing, and when will we get results?
Once you’re ready to move forward, appointments are typically scheduled within 10–14 days of your call with us, depending on availability.
After testing is completed, our team needs approximately 10–14 days to review the results and prepare a detailed evaluation report. You’ll then meet with a director for a comprehensive follow-up meeting, who will walk you through the results in clear, easy-to-understand terms and provide a personalized roadmap of recommendations and next steps.
Do you test adults, too—or just kids?
Yes! Learning differences don’t only affect children. Many adults discover later in life that they’ve been compensating for learning or attention challenges for years without answers. We test individuals of all ages, including college students and working professionals who may need documentation for academic, workplace, or professional exam accommodations.
