Were you diagnosed with a learning disability as a child? Do you suspect you are struggling with an undiagnosed learning disability as an adult? Adult disability testing provides insight into your personal strengths and weaknesses and may qualify you for workplace accommodations.
Adults with learning disabilities can feel stuck. Have you been struggling with an issue for as long as you can remember? Or perhaps new roadblocks have kept you from your goals and you just can’t seem to overcome them?
Diagnosed and undiagnosed learning disabilities can affect many areas of daily life. They can lead to issues in processing, productivity, communication, and other aspects of the workplace. They can also contribute to difficulties with relationships and home life.
Our team here at Compassionate Studios is here to help, whatever your goals might be.
How Did My Learning Disability Go Unnoticed?
Without realizing it, many adults learn how to cope with their disabilities. If their environment does not accommodate their struggles, they start to accommodate for their environment in an attempt to get by.
But it does not have to be this way. Your struggles are unique. Even if you have ways to cope with your disability, it does not mean you have what you need to thrive. Let us help you by giving the tools and strategies you need.
What Does an Adult Learning Disability Assessment Entail?
The aspects of an assessment can vary from person to person, based on their needs. But most assessments include in-person testing, a diagnosis, and recommendations.
Once you have contacted us and set up your appointment, we will start in-person testing. We will work with you one-on-one to survey achievement, intelligence, and processing ability through a battery of tests.
These tests are a way for us to gauge how you interact with the world and uniquely navigate daily life.
From the results of the testing, we can provide a diagnosis if needed. This is a formal statement on what learning disability you have, if any. Even without a diagnosis, we can give you a deeper understanding of how you function.
With or without a diagnosis, recommendations can be provided. These will be tools we recommend to achieve your goals in whatever environment you are struggling in. From working with us, we can outline your strengths and weaknesses, and how to utilize them.
Can an Adult Learning Disability Assessment Lead to Workplace Accommodations?
Yes, your results can lead to workplace accommodations. After you meet with us, you can take our findings to your employer.
The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) ensures that employees and job applicants can be entitled to accommodations.
Accommodations vary from person to person and between workplaces. Defined by the ADA, the goal is “reasonable workplace accommodation.” They can help you do your personal best for your employer by removing barriers. The accommodations should be fair for both you and your employer. They can manifest in different ways depending on what your needs are.
If you are struggling in your daily life, or just want to learn more about your unique way of navigating the world, we are here for you.
