Level the Playing Field: Graduate Entrance, Licensure, and Professional Exam Accommodations

High-stakes exams like the GRE, LSAT, MCAT, USMLE, or Bar Exam are designed to measure your knowledge—not your disability. If you have a history of ADHD, learning disabilities, or psychological conditions, you may be entitled to accommodations that allow you to demonstrate your true potential.
Our specialized evaluations provide the rigorous clinical evidence required by testing boards to approve requests for extended time, private rooms, or assistive technology.

Why a Standard Evaluation Isn’t Enough
Testing boards (such as Pearson VUE, ETS, and NBME) have extremely strict criteria. A simple doctor’s note or an outdated IEP is rarely sufficient. Most denials happen because the documentation fails to:

  • Show a “functional limitation” compared to the average person.
  • Provide recent, standardized psychometric data.
  • Establish a clear “nexus” between the diagnosis and the specific accommodation requested.

Our Comprehensive Evaluation Process
We provide a “gold-standard” battery of tests tailored specifically to the requirements of professional licensing and graduate boards.

Common Accommodations We Support
A successful evaluation can be the key to securing:

  • Extended Time: Usually 50% (1.5 \times) or 100% (2.0 \times) additional time.
  • Rest Breaks: “Stop-the-clock” breaks for medical or focus-related needs.
  • Distraction-Reduced Environment: Testing in a private or semi-private room.
  • Assistive Tools: Use of headphones, paper-and-pencil, or other equipment.

Step-by-Step Guidance
We don’t just hand you a report and wish you luck. Our team understands the nuances of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as it applies to testing. We ensure your report uses the specific clinical language required to satisfy legal and medical reviewers.

Important Note: Most boards require evaluations to be conducted within the last 3 to 5 years. If your last assessment was in high school, it is likely outdated for professional licensure.
