A Learning Disability Evaluation is often completed to determine if an individual is qualified for reasonable accommodations at school or work.  For example accommodations for standardized exams (FCAT, SAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, Bar Exam) may include extra time, use of computer or calculator, or private room. 

A Learning Disability Evaluation includes three parts: An assessment of potential, usually done through an IQ test; a battery of achievement tests to assess skills in reading, writing, and math; and a battery of tests to assess processing skills, which indicate possible problems with input, integration, and output of information.
