Learning Disabilities Assessment
The Learning Disabilities Specialist provides diagnostic testing and recommendations to enrolled WCC students who suspect they may have a learning disability and who have not been tested previously, or whose testing is outdated.
The Goal:
To assess and identify educational needs, assist students in learning strategies, and help all students develop the confidence to reach their potential.
Testing Times:
Testing assessment times
are arranged by
appointment. The LD
Specialist is not available
while testing, so you are
encouraged to call in
advance for an appointment
if possible.
Services Provided:
• Provide consultation for students experiencing learning difficulties.
• Conduct cognitive and achievement testing and make recommendations based on test results.
• Advise students on learning strategies appropriate to
their specific learning disabilities.
• Recommend accommodations appropriate to students' specific learning disabilities.
• Provide information on other conditions (e.g.,
Attention Deficit Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury) that may also interfere with learning.
• Refer students to appropriate campus resources (e.g.,
Learning Support Services, Counseling, Career Planning and
Placement) and coordinate student needs with appropriate
staff.
• Make referrals to outside agencies (e.g.,
Michigan Rehabilitation Services).
Referrals:
Referrals to the LD specialist may be initiated by students (self-referral), or by instructors, staff, or outside agencies.
