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.
