Psychoeducational Evaluations

The Schwab Learning Center offers psychoeducational evaluations for high school students, college students, and young adults who need help determining whether they have a learning disability or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). 

We also offer reevaluations for those individuals who have already been diagnosed with a learning disability or ADHD and need an update to their diagnosis and report.

Please register here.

A team member will contact you to schedule a one-hour complimentary care consultation with a Learning Specialist. The goal of the care consultation is to determine eligibility and readiness for an SLC evaluation.

• Intake Meeting: Attend a 90-minute intake meeting (virtual or in-person) with our assessment psychologist. We’ll discuss the questions you want addressed during the evaluation, your presenting concerns, and your developmental, medical, family, and educational history.
• Testing Sessions: Testing takes place over two to three 3-hour testing sessions. Testing is done in person with the assessment psychologist.  Sessions can be scheduled within the same week or in consecutive weeks.
• Feedback Session: You’ll meet with the assessment psychologist and assigned Learning Specialist to review the results and recommendations. This session will be one hour long and conducted via Zoom.

Please note that due to California Board of Psychology restrictions, you must be physically located within the state of California for all meetings with the assessment psychologist.  

Reports are typically sent within six weeks after your final testing session. Your report will be securely transmitted to you via encrypted email from CHC’s Medical Records department. Results will also be reviewed verbally during your final feedback session, which will take place approximately two weeks after testing is complete.

• Your school/university: The report serves as documentation of your diagnosis and includes recommendations based on test results. Many schools require a copy of the report to facilitate requests for academic accommodations. Ultimately, the determination of appropriate accommodations and modifications rests with you and your academic institution.
