Learning Disabilities Assessment & Authorization

If you have ever been diagnosed with a Learning Disability …

Students are often diagnosed with learning disabilities as children. ACCESS can help you determine if this learning difference is continuing to affect your adult learning and what types of accommodations might be needed at the college level. Call or drop by the ACCESS Center to make an appointment with a Learning Disabilities Specialist.

If you think you might have a Learning Disability or some other invisible disability…

Some students are unaware of their learning differences until they reach the more difficult college level classes. ACCESS can help students discover their unique learning style and, when warranted, assess students to determine if a disability does exist and what services and accommodations are appropriate.

If you are unduly struggling with your college level classes, call or drop by the ACCESS Center for more information about adults with learning differences. If you wish, you can then request an appointment with a Learning Disabilities Specialist who will meet with you to determine if testing is recommended, and/or make suggestions regarding campus or community services and resources or study strategies you may find helpful.

If you both decide assessment is appropriate, a series of testing appointments will be scheduled. When testing is completed, you will again meet with the Specialist to discuss the results and to receive recommendations for accommodations and/or success strategies.
