When an individual is experiencing a learning difficulty, a neuropsychological evaluation of skills and abilities can provide useful information and a foundation for the correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment recommendations, as well as academic accomodations.
A learning disability is more than just differences of or difficulties in a the learning process. A learning disability is a neurological disorder that impacts how the brain receives, processes, stores, retrieves, and responds to information. These are complex disorders that can manifest in a variety of forms and differ widely in how they impact the individual.
At this time, it is estimated that 2.5 million students are diagnosed with a learning disability and are receiving special education services in their school (IDEA Part B Child Count, 2009). With accurate diagnosis, supportive information and helpful recommendations, treatment can be provided to help an individual reach optimal potential.
