Learning Disability Assessment Resources
Students possessing diagnosis of a specific learning disability will be accommodated through the Bob Murphy Access Center (BMAC) office. In order to qualify for academic accommodations, students will need verification of their diagnosis from a qualified professional. Diagnostic guidelines can be found here.
Students seeking diagnosis may find the following resources useful. SBP is in no way affiliated with these agencies and provides this listing as only a referral suggestion for outside ADHD testing and diagnosis.
If these referrals do not meet your needs, please contact the BMAC Mental Health Case Management Team.
