College Accommodation Testing
Are you a student with a learning disability, ADHD, psychological condition, or other documented disability preparing for college? Colleges are committed to providing reasonable accommodations to ensure equitable access to education. A comprehensive accommodation evaluation can help.
Understanding accommodation testing
Consider accommodation testing to help:
Establish Eligibility for Accommodations: Provide the necessary documentation to qualify for academic adjustments and support services offered by college disability services offices.
Identify Specific Learning Needs: Pinpoint your unique learning strengths and challenges to inform the most effective accommodations.
Facilitate a Smooth Transition to Higher Education: Equip you with a clear understanding of your needs and the documentation required to advocate for yourself in a college setting.
Promote Academic Success: Ensure you have the necessary support to thrive in your college coursework and demonstrate your full potential.
The Results: Promoting college success
Our goal is to provide you with more than just test scores. We'll help you understand how the results translate into practical strategies for navigating college:
Identifying Your Learning Profile: We'll highlight your cognitive strengths and areas where accommodations can provide support.
Understanding Accommodation Recommendations: We'll explain the rationale behind each recommended accommodation and how it can address your specific learning challenges in a college setting.
Empowering Self-Advocacy: We'll provide guidance on how to effectively communicate your needs to college disability services and professors.
Planning for Academic Strategies: We'll discuss learning strategies that can complement your accommodations and contribute to your academic success in higher education.
Please note: diagnoses is never a guarantee of any evaluation.
What’s included:
Our college accommodation evaluations are designed to be thorough and relevant to the demands of higher education. A typical assessment includes:
Standardized Cognitive and Achievement Testing: Utilizing instruments such as the WAIS-IV, WIAT-III, or Woodcock-Johnson IV to assess intellectual abilities, academic skills (reading, writing, math), and processing strengths and weaknesses.
Clinical Interview and Review of Documentation: A detailed discussion of your educational history, prior accommodations, and a review of any existing psychological or medical reports.
Accommodation-Focused Report: A comprehensive report detailing your diagnosis (if applicable), specific learning profile, and clear, evidence-based recommendations for academic accommodations relevant to the college environment (e.g., extended time, reduced distraction settings, alternative format materials).
Executive Functioning Assessment (Add-on for additional $100): An evaluation of skills like attention, organization, planning, and working memory, which are crucial for college success.

Scheduling an evaluation with RootEd Psychology is simple and stress-free. You can:
Submit a contact form through our website
Email us directly at admin@rootedpsychology.net
Call our office at 303-219-0677
We’ll reach out promptly to gather a bit of background, confirm the best assessment tier for your needs, and offer available testing dates. After scheduling, we’ll send over digital intake forms and any documentation we’ll need prior to your child’s session.
There’s no consultation required just to get pricing or information—we keep it clear, upfront, and easy from the start.
-
We design our evaluations to be comfortable, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. Most children actually enjoy the one-on-one attention and the variety of puzzles, questions, and activities.
Here’s what to expect:
Your child will meet with a licensed psychologist in a calm, welcoming setting.
Testing is broken into short, manageable tasks with plenty of breaks.
For younger children, sessions are kept shorter and playful.
Older children and teens are encouraged to work at their own pace in a low-pressure environment.
We never rush. Our goal is to understand how your child thinks and learns, not just collect scores. Parents are welcome to wait nearby or return when testing is complete, depending on the child’s age and comfort level.
After testing, we’ll schedule a feedback session to walk you through the results, answer your questions, and help you feel confident in the next steps.
-
No referral is needed. You can schedule an evaluation at RootEd Psychology directly—no pediatrician, school, or insurance referral required.
Many families come to us with questions or concerns about their child’s learning, attention, or development, and we’re here to help guide that process. Whether you're seeking insight, documentation for school, or eligibility for accommodations, you can reach out to us anytime.
That said, if your doctor, therapist, or school has recommended testing, we’re happy to coordinate with them (with your consent) to make sure we’re addressing the right questions.
-
From start to finish, most evaluations take 2–4 weeks, depending on the tier of assessment and scheduling availability.
Here’s a general timeline:
Week 1 – Intake forms + scheduling
Week 2 – In-person testing (1–2 sessions, depending on age and tier)
Week 3–4 – Scoring, interpretation, and report writing
Week 4 – Feedback session and final report delivery
We know families are often working with school timelines or application deadlines, so let us know if you're on a time crunch—we’ll do our best to accommodate.
-
The best preparation is helping your child feel calm, rested, and comfortable. There’s no need to study or practice in advance—the tests are designed to measure how your child naturally thinks, learns, and solves problems.
Here are a few tips:
Get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy meal before testing.
Explain the day in simple, positive terms (e.g., “You’ll be doing puzzles, answering questions, and working one-on-one with a nice adult to learn how your brain works!”).
Avoid calling it a “test” if your child finds that stressful—“activities” or “challenges” often feel more fun and approachable.
Bring a favorite snack and water bottle, especially for younger kids.
Let them know it’s okay to take breaks or ask questions—we want them to feel confident and at ease.
We’ll take care of the rest! The environment is warm and child-friendly, and we adjust the pace based on your child’s needs and comfort.
-
We ask that parents wait outside the testing room during the evaluation.
This helps your child:
Feel more independent and confident
Stay focused without the pressure of being observed
Build direct rapport with the psychologist
You’re always welcome to wait nearby, and we’ll keep you updated throughout the session. Our goal is to make the experience smooth, supportive, and stress-free for everyone involved.
