College & Adult Psychoeducational Evaluations
From stuck to clear – an accurate account of how your mind works, and documentation that holds up where it counts.
You’ve Always Found a Way Through. Lately, the Old Strategies Aren’t Enough.
Maybe there’s a high-stakes exam standing between you and the next step, and you need accommodations – done right the first time. Maybe school or work has started demanding more than your usual workarounds can absorb. Or maybe you’ve spent years sensing that something has always been harder for you than it should be, without ever getting a straight answer.
A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation gives you that answer: a clear, data-driven account of how you learn, think, and focus – and, when you need it, documentation prepared to meet the exacting standards of testing boards and universities.
Who We Work With
Our adult and college evaluations are built for capable, high-functioning people who’ve hit a wall:
- College and graduate students working harder than their peers for the same – or worse – results.
- Candidates preparing for high-stakes exams – the SAT and ACT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, LSAT, DAT, USMLE, or the bar – who need accommodations and documentation built to meet their standards.
- Working professionals who have quietly compensated for their entire careers and now want to know what they’ve actually been compensating for.
Three Reasons People Come to Us
- Accommodations for high-stakes testing
The testing boards that control your next step – the AAMC, LSAC, the College Board, ETS, and others – each set their own demanding requirements for accommodation documentation: current, adult-normed, comprehensive, and tied to clear evidence of functional impact. A report that misses the standard can cost you an entire test cycle. Our evaluations are designed around what these entities actually require, so your request is as complete and defensible as it can be.
- Accommodations for college or graduate school
Your disability services office can put accommodations in place under Section 504 and the ADA – extended time, reduced-distraction testing, note-taking support, and more – but only with documentation that meets their bar. An IEP or 504 plan from high school doesn’t carry over, and an older evaluation often won’t satisfy their requirements. Many offices expect current, adult-normed documentation that ties your diagnosis to its impact on you in a college setting. We provide the evaluation and report that make those conversations possible.
- Clarifying a stuck point
Sometimes, there’s no exam and no form – just a persistent sense that you’re capable of more than your results show. Undiagnosed ADHD, a learning difference, a processing pattern, or the way anxiety interacts with performance can quietly shape an entire academic or professional trajectory. An evaluation replaces the guesswork with a clear explanation – and a plan.
The Documentation Matters as Much as the Diagnosis
For high-stakes accommodations, a diagnosis alone isn’t enough. Reviewers want to see current, comprehensive, adult-normed testing; a clear history; and specific evidence of how your profile affects performance under real conditions. Getting any of that wrong means delay – or denial – at the worst possible moment.
That’s why your evaluation is led by a licensed psychologist who knows precisely what these institutions look for.
Your Evaluator: Dr. Leslie Crossman, LSSP
Dr. Leslie Crossman is a Licensed Psychologist with more than 25 years of assessment experience. For over two decades she also served as a senior school psychologist – work that put her on both sides of accommodation decisions: conducting evaluations and helping determine which ones met the standard for support.
That perspective is rare, and it matters. She knows what a thorough, defensible report looks like because she has spent a career reading them. She brings that same rigor – and a genuine respect for you as a capable adult – to every evaluation, building documentation designed to be accepted and delivering it with clarity and discretion.
What the Evaluation Examines
Using carefully selected, current, adult-normed standardized measures, your evaluation looks at:
- Cognitive ability – how you reason, hold information, and process what’s in front of you.
- Academic achievement – where reading, writing, and math skills stand relative to your ability.
- Attention and executive functioning – focus, working memory, organization, and follow-through, and what’s driving any breakdowns.
- Emotional and personality functioning – how anxiety, mood, or stress may be interacting with performance.
Together these identify adult ADHD, specific learning differences, and the other patterns that explain why capable people get stuck – and they generate the evidence institutions require.
You Walk Away With
- A clear, plain-language explanation of how your mind works – strengths included.
- A comprehensive written report prepared to the standard your situation calls for – a testing board or a university disability office.
- Specific, practical recommendations you can use.
- A dedicated feedback session to talk it through and decide what’s next.
An Honest Word on Accommodations
The final decision on any accommodation rests with the testing entity or school – not with us, and no ethical provider can promise approval. What we can do is give you the most complete, current, and defensible documentation possible, prepared by someone who knows what reviewers require. Because these processes run on strict deadlines, the best thing you can do is start early. If a test date is on your calendar, reach out now.

Do you work with the MCAT, LSAT, GRE, and bar exam?
Yes. We prepare documentation aligned to the requirements of the major testing boards and professional licensing exams.
Is it covered by insurance?
Accommodation and psychoeducational evaluations are typically self-pay and not billed to insurance; we’ll give you clear pricing up front.
