Assessment for College Students & Adult Learners
This assessment is conducted to establish that the individual has a disability and the types of accommodations (testing and classroom) that may be required to be successful. Once the assessment is completed, the student usually works with the College’s disability office to ensure compliance. Mind Metrics can also provide testing for adult learners to inquire if they may have a Learning Disability, ADHD, Autism, or a Mental Health Diagnosis that may be impacting their learning and/or social functioning in the educational and/or work environments.
