Will my child receive a diagnosis from this evaluation?
If the results meet criteria for ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or a Learning Disability, a formal diagnosis can be provided. If not, you will still receive an explanation of your child’s learning profile and targeted recommendations to help them make academic progress and reach their full potential.
How long does the evaluation take?
Testing sessions typically range from 2–5 hours, depending on age and concerns. Sessions may be split into two days to support your child’s stamina. After testing, the written report is usually completed within 1-2 weeks.
Will the school accept this evaluation for getting an IEP or 504?
Yes! Schools must consider any outside assessment.
While they may still want to complete their own testing, your evaluation often speeds up the process and provides strong support for a 504 plan, IEP, and classroom or testing accommodations.
How do I know if my child’s struggles are just a phase or something more serious?
Many children go through ups and downs in school, but ongoing difficulties with attention, reading, writing, math, organization, or behavior may signal an underlying learning or attention difference. A comprehensive evaluation can help determine whether your child’s challenges are developmental, situational, or related to a diagnosable learning need.
Do I really need a private evaluation if the school is already involved?
Many families seek private evaluations after experiencing long wait times through the school system, denial by the school, or evaluations that are the bare-minimum of evaluating their child’s needs. A private evaluation offers a thorough, individualized look at your child’s strengths and needs and can often be completed much sooner, allowing you to take action without months of delay.
Who will be conducting my child’s evaluation?
All evaluations are led by Suzanne Swezea, M.S., LEP, an Educational Psychologist with over 19 years of experience. Her background as a school psychologist in the public school system allows her to support families not only with accurate diagnoses, but also with expert guidance on navigating the school system and advocating effectively for services and accommodations.
Can this evaluation be used for applying for college entrance exam accommodations?
Yes. Comprehensive ADHD and learning disability evaluations meet documentation requirements for:
- SAT/ACT
- College disability services
