additional Documentation requirements for Students with Learning Disabilities

The requested documentation profile for individuals with specific learning disabilities requires a comprehensive psycho-educational test battery. This assessment includes intelligence/ability testing and educational/achievement testing, along with a full diagnostic report that includes all subtest and standard test scores and the evaluator's narrative.

If you are providing information from school, include the most recent evaluation, Individual Educational Program (IEP), original eligibility evaluation and any other assessments that include the results of a psycho-educational test battery. A diagnostic report for a learning disabilty should include:

• A diagnosis of a learning disability and type(s) of learning disability(ies) should be supported by test data and a description of functional limitations.
  
  
• A diagnosis made by a qualified professional i.e., licensed school psychologist, licensed psychologist, learning disabilities/educational specialist.
  
  
• Assessments normed for adults are preferred. What this means is that your assessments should not be an assessment for children, but tests that are designed for adults, i.e., WAIS rather than WISC.
