The Student Health & Wellness team supports students who have or need to be assessed for a learning disability.

Our healthcare team includes psychologists who may provide screening assessments, learning strategies, and advocacy services to students with learning disabilities (LD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) depending on information obtained from an initial intake interview with the psychologist.
