Testing for Learning Disorders and ADHD


You may be struggling with classes and wondering what to do. An advisor or professor may have suggested “Maybe you have a learning disorder or ADHD.” Maybe you have been diagnosed previously and have been told you need to update your documentation.

The LD/ADHD website is designed to help you answer some of your questions. For example:

  • What are learning disorders and ADHD? How are they diagnosed and documented?
  • How do I know if I need to be tested?
  • Is there anything I can do to improve my academic and life success NOW?
  • What does testing involve (e.g. time, money, procedures)?
  • How do I apply for testing at SHAC?
  • Where else can I go for testing or treatment?

LD/ADHD Testing Mission Statement

  • The mission of the LD/ADHD Testing at SHAC is to reduce barriers to learning for at-risk PSU students. While we strive to serve as many as PSU students as possible within the scope of our resources, the number of assessments available each year is limited.

  • LD/ADHD Testing offers high quality, low cost assessments of learning disorders and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder so that students may be eligible to access other campus resources (e.g. learning accommodations through the Disability Resource Center).

  • Additionally, LD/ADHD Testing provides useful resources and referrals so that all PSU students can be active in assessing their own strengths and weaknesses and implementing strategies for change.
