Comprehensive ADHD and Learning Disorder Assessment
When you have determined that your child should be tested for a learning disability or ADHD, our assessors at Wellesley Neuropsychology and Assessment can provide focused learning disability evaluations with specific recommendations for certain learning disorders. This is helpful for students who require guidance for recommending accommodations on their Individualized Educational Plans (IEP).
Learning Disability Testing
We begin with an initial consultation where we gather detailed information about your child’s developmental, medical, and educational history. At this time you may discuss specific concerns about your child’s learning and academic performance.
The evaluation includes a series of standardized tests and assessments that measure various cognitive, academic, and psychological functions such as intelligence and cognitive processing abilities. We also evaluate reading, writing, math, and other academic skills.
After the assessments are completed, you will receive a detailed report outlining the findings, including strengths, weaknesses, and any diagnosed learning disabilities. We will explain the results and provide a clear picture of your child’s learning profile.

ADHD Assessment
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) diagnostic assessments are comprehensive evaluations designed to determine whether an individual meets the criteria for ADHD as defined by the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition).
These assessments are crucial not only for diagnosis but also for identifying areas of strength and potential areas for improvement. In order to receive accommodations at the college level, recent formal testing is required. If you suspect you or someone you care about might have ADHD and are looking for educational accommodations, we can help you with the necessary assessments.
ADHD shares symptoms with other conditions like anxiety, depression, and learning disabilities. A comprehensive assessment helps differentiate ADHD from these other conditions, ensuring an accurate diagnosis. Through these evaluations we can determine an individual’s academic performance and identify any learning disabilities that might impact it. Our evaluation Identifies whether symptoms are due to ADHD or another underlying issue, such as a medical condition or a different psychological disorder.
Our evaluation provides a detailed profile of cognitive, academic, and behavioral strengths and areas needing improvement. This can help in understanding how ADHD affects various aspects of life. We also assess how symptoms impact daily functioning in different settings, such as home, school, or work.
