College is a time of growth, independence, and increasing responsibility, but it can also bring new challenges. Some students find that academic pressures, mental health concerns, or executive functioning struggles become more apparent in this environment. A comprehensive assessment can help clarify how a student learns, copes, and thrives, offering practical next steps for school and beyond. Further, students with a history of accommodations – such as a 504 Plan, IEP, or academic support in high school – often continue to qualify for services in college. Updated testing is often required to access disability accommodations, including extended time, reduced-distraction testing, or assistive technology.

These assessments often explore:

  • Attention and executive functioning concerns, including ADHD
  • Learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or math-based disorders
  • Social communication challenges and autism spectrum concerns
  • Anxiety, depression, and other emotional health needs
  • Barriers to organization, time management, or test-taking performance

You might consider a college assessment if:

  • You’ve always struggled with focus, test anxiety, or keeping up with assignments
  • Professors or advisors have noticed changes in your performance
  • You have received accommodations in school via 504 plan or IEP and you want to update your accommodation plan for college
  • You’re considering applying for accommodations on standardized tests (GRE, LSAT, MCAT)
  • You want clearer direction about what supports would actually help
  • A previous diagnosis needs to be updated for your current needs

Our goal is to provide more than a diagnosis – we aim to help students understand how they think, learn, and function, so they can make empowered decisions about their academic and personal life. Every assessment includes a feedback session and a detailed written report that can be used to support disability accommodations at the college or graduate level (e.g., extended time, reduced-distraction settings, assistive technology). All assessments are conducted by licensed psychologists using evidence-based tools and a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming lens.

If you’re wondering whether an assessment might be the right next step, we’re here to help.
