Educational Testing & Accommodations
Westport Behavioral Health offers comprehensive educational testing to assess for learning disabilities, ADHD, and related behavioral issues. These evaluations measure intellectual organization and academic abilities, and can support requests for classroom accommodations.
Testing Accommodations
Testing can be performed to determine if one may qualify for accommodations and modifications on standardized tests such as SAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, GMAT, USMLE and professional licensing exams. These accommodations are changes in standardized test conditions designed to level out the playing field between students with and without disabilities.
