II. 3. What happens if I get tested and find out I don't have an LD?

I know that this can create stress with respect to not being able to "label" your academic problem/s. However, if your evaluation was conducted by an experienced clinician (hopefully someone on our clinic referral list) the testing should help you to better understand your strengths and weaknesses, individual learning style and perhaps clarify future educational goals.

II.  Screening, Testing, and Diagnosis

1. I’m ready to be evaluated for a possible LD.  How should I go about finding the right clinician for me?
2. It takes me twice as long to read assignments and I never have enough time to finish tests. Do you think I have a learning disability?
3. What happens if I get tested and find out I don't have an LD?
4. I'm a Writing Fellow and one of my clients has a problem with transitions and spelling. I think that she may have an undiagnosed LD. What should I do?
5. I'm a current Barnard student and would like to have an evaluation for a possible learning disability (LD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). It's so expensive. Who is responsible for paying for the evaluation?
