Are you or your child struggling with a learning disability?
Have you been experiencing frustration related to academic issues and work performance?
Are persistent learning challenges holding you back from achieving your hopes and dreams?
Do you want to get more support and accommodations, but you don’t know where to start?
Maybe you suspect that you’re dealing with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or another learning disability. Or perhaps you’re wondering if another underlying condition—such as ADHD, anxiety, or problems with visual-motor coordination—is impacting your cognitive abilities. You might be struggling to keep up in school or stay on top of certain tasks at work. As a result, maybe your self-esteem has taken a blow and you’re worried that you won’t be successful in life.
On the other hand, perhaps your child is dealing with academic difficulties. Maybe they’re continually falling behind on their homework, struggling to stay organized, and daydreaming during school. You’ve probably begun to sense that their learning style is different from other kids.
The truth is that having a different learning style is not a bad thing—many brilliant people learn differently from the average person. These differences can be harnessed to your advantage in life, and that’s part of our mission at Huntington Psychological Services. We provide diagnostic evaluations for children and adults with learning disabilities and offer tailored strategies and interventions to support their personal and educational growth. We want to help you connect with your strengths, get access to helpful accommodations, and improve your work and school performance.
Early intervention is crucial with learning disabilities
Learning disabilities are incredibly common. So many children and adults struggle with learning challenges that affect their academic, social, and professional lives. According to the National Center for Learning Disabilities, about one in five kids has learning and attention issues like dyslexia and ADHD.*
Because of the increasing awareness around these issues, the need for testing has grown exponentially. Learning disability testing can help people identify specific learning disabilities in reading, writing, and math. They can also help people distinguish whether their difficulties stem from ADHD, anxiety, or insufficient practice, offering a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s strengths and weaknesses. Early identification and intervention can lead to tailored educational strategies and support, promoting better academic outcomes, improved performance at work, and increased self-esteem.
People with learning disabilities are often profoundly misunderstood
Without proper assessment, people with learning disabilities may miss out on essential services or accommodations at school or work, which can adversely affect their academic and professional success. Misunderstandings and lack of awareness from teachers, employers, and peers can exacerbate feelings of isolation. Many people are simply told to “Just try harder” or “Pay better attention.” They often internalize these messages and come to believe that there’s something wrong with them.
Learning disability testing is a chance to flip these negative beliefs on their head and understand that learning disabilities do not define a person’s potential or capabilities. With the right help and support, individuals with learning disabilities can excel and achieve remarkable success in their personal, educational, and professional lives.
Learning disability testing can help you understand your differences and create a plan for success
Learning disability evaluations provide a comprehensive “blueprint” of you or your child’s unique learning profile, identifying both strengths and areas requiring support. These assessments help identify specific learning challenges and their underlying causes, allowing for tailored interventions and strategies that can significantly improve academic performance and self-esteem. You can expect to gain valuable insights into cognitive and academic abilities, receive personalized, detailed recommendations, and earn practical skills to support your professional or educational journey.

Our assessment process
Intake
We'll start with a 1 to 1.5-hour interview (online or in person). You’ll meet with your lead clinician to talk about your concerns, what you hope to get out of the evaluation, and the goals you want to set. (If it's for your child, this session is just for the parents.)
Testing
Next, you or your child will spend about 3-4 hours in our office with a testing technician. We'll complete various tests to get a clear picture of your thinking, processing, and learning styles. Most of the time, this is done in a single visit.
Feedback
In another 1 to 1.5-hour meeting (online or in person), your lead clinician will walk you through the results. We’ll discuss any diagnoses and give you a personalized action plan with concrete recommendations.
Report
About two weeks after your feedback session, we’ll send you a detailed report with all your results, diagnoses, and recommendations. You can use this to share with doctors, schools, or anyone else who is a part of your care team.
The entire evaluation process takes about six weeks, with the final report arriving two weeks after your feedback session. Our goal is to give you more than just a diagnosis—we want to provide you with a clear roadmap and helpful information you can use for clarity and support moving forward.
Commonly asked questions
-
Investing in a high-quality learning disability evaluation requires a significant financial commitment, but the cost is small compared to the benefits. You can learn lifelong skills, increase your self-esteem, and gain access to valuable services and accommodations. Opting for cheaper, faster, and less comprehensive evaluations can result in wasted time, money, and effort, providing few answers and more frustration. It’s worth investing in your well-being, and that’s what the testing process is all about.

We are an out-of-network provider, which means we don't directly bill insurance. But don't worry—many health plans offer some reimbursement for out-of-network care. To simplify the process, we've teamed up with Reimbursify, an app that makes filing your claims quick and easy, helping you get your payments back faster. Please feel free to reach out to us for more information.

Yes, a learning disability evaluation can help you obtain accommodations at school. With a formal diagnosis, you can access resources and services designed to support your success, such as an IEP and 504 plan, ensuring that you have an opportunity to perform to the best of your abilities. We provide recommendations for accommodations on a case-by-case basis, prioritizing what we believe is in the best interests of our patients based on our professional judgment.
A Simpler Insurance Process
While we are an out-of-network provider, we are committed to making reimbursement as simple as possible. Most practices simply provide a “superbill,” leaving you to handle the complexities of claim submission.
We do it for you.
As a complimentary service, we submit all claims directly to your insurance on your behalf, saving you time and paperwork. We're also happy to help verify your benefits beforehand.
Please note: Our services do not include evaluations for legal or child custody proceedings.
