At Conway Psychological Assessment Center, we specialize in comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations for adults who need documentation to access academic or testing accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Whether you're preparing to begin college, currently enrolled in a degree program, or planning to take a high-stakes exam such as the ACT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, or Praxis, we are here to help.

What Is a Psychoeducational Evaluation?

A psychoeducational evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of your cognitive, academic, and psychological functioning. It helps identify specific learning strengths and weaknesses, attention or executive function difficulties, and emotional factors that may be interfering with performance. We assess for a range of conditions, including:

• Specific learning disorders (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia)
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Processing speed and working memory impairments
• Test anxiety and other mood or anxiety-related challenges that impact academic functioning

Why Seek a Psychoeducational Evaluation as an Adult?

Adults seek evaluations for a variety of reasons:

• To request academic accommodations such as extended time, reduced-distraction testing environments, note-taking support, or use of assistive technology.
• To qualify for accommodations on standardized exams, such as extended time or alternate formats.
• To gain personal insight into learning strengths and needs to improve study habits or work performance.
• To explore symptoms of ADHD that may have been overlooked in childhood.

You do not need to have a pre-existing diagnosis to begin the process. In fact, many adults come to us for the first time after noticing persistent academic or occupational struggles that have never been formally addressed.

What to Expect from the Process

Our evaluations are individualized and comprehensive. The process typically involves:

1. An initial interview to review your history, current concerns, and goals for the evaluation.
2. Standardized testing to assess cognitive functioning, academic skills, attention, and memory.
3. Behavioral and psychological screening to explore how emotional factors may be impacting your functioning.
4. A feedback session where we go over the results in detail, answer your questions, and provide tailored recommendations.

We provide a written report that is suitable for submission to colleges, graduate programs, testing boards, or workplace HR departments. Our evaluations meet or exceed the documentation requirements set by organizations such as the College Board, ETS, and most university disability offices.

Why Choose CPAC?

Our team understands the specific documentation guidelines required to support accommodations and has years of experience working with students, adult learners, and professionals. We stay up to date on evolving ADA policies and help ensure that your evaluation not only meets diagnostic criteria but tells the full story of how your condition impacts your daily functioning.

According to the National Center for College Students with Disabilities, nearly 20% of college students report having a disability, yet many go without formal accommodations because they were never evaluated. Don’t let unanswered questions hold you back.
